Hello user,
As per your history, your dad had been suffering from a disease which caused him to get many surgeries for some pancreatic ailment, so I can assume he was suffering from pancreatitis as there is also a hstory of chronic alcohol consumption.
The detailed report about the actual cause can be said only by seeing the actual biopsy report and clinical reports.
You are advised to contact me or HCM with your scanned copy of reports.
