[Pancreatitis associated with diseases of the stomach, duodenum and biliary tract]

The authors studied experience with simultaneous operations in 39 patients with coexisting diseases of the stomach, duodenum, biliary tract, and pancreas. A total of 31 operations were carried out in 14 patients with various forms of acute pancreatitis and 54 in 25 patients with chronic pancreatitis. One patient died in the immediate postoperative period from destructive postoperative pancreatitis. Simultaneous operations can be conducted under conditions of modern anesthesiological and intensive care without increasing mortality rates, which contributes to improvement of the immediate and late results of treatment of patients with concomitant digestive diseases.
