Abstract:
Pancreaticogastrostomy is a less known operation for drainage. In this series pancreaticogastrostomy was done in 37 patients with dilated ducts during the period from 2002-2008. Anastomosis of the pancreas to the posterior wall of stomach was performed using pancreatic duct to gastric mucosa technique. The cases were followed up and it was seen that pancreaticogastrostomy is an effective operation for chronic pancreatitis. Most patients (89%) got relieved of pain for first several years. It is also a less time taking procedure to perform as no Roux-en-y construction is needed.
