A statistical study aimed at the determination of any possible differences between calcifying and non-calcifying chronic pancreatitis. It would seem that whilst there are differences from a histopathological and biological standpoint, these differences disappear completely as far as postoperative course is concerned. Curiously enough, the long term prognosis was the same regardless of the type of pancreatitis.
