There are many surgeries but no one can cure pain in totto which is the main symptom to affect quality of life. Materials & Methods: Thorough history, physical examination, laboratory data and imaging are used to diagnose the cases. CT and MRCP are the imaging commonest used though CT guided FNAC was advocated in doubtful cases of pancreatitis involves head. Conservative and surgical procedures are adopted for the management of the cases according to extent of pathology. Results: Quality of life is dramatically improved when treated early. Long time follow-up shows recurrence and high morbidity who presented late. Surgical procedures are unable to cure symptoms in totto. Improve quality of life was achieved by surgeries.
