Meta Analysis
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after non-pancreatic upper gastrointestinal surgery: meta-analysis.
Untreated pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) results in substantial patient harm. Upper gastrointestinal surgery (bariatric metabolic surgery and oesophagogastric resection) affects the delicate physiology of pancreatic exocrine function and may result in PEI. The aim of this study was to assimilate the literature on incidence, diagnosis, and management of PEI after bariatric metabolic surgery and oesophagogastric resection. ⋯ PEI is common after non-pancreatic upper gastrointestinal surgery and patients may benefit from enzyme replacement therapy.
