[Surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis associated with duodenal ulcer]

In combination of the ulcer disease and pancreatitis with the aim to achieve simultaneous suppression of gastric hypersecretion and reduction of the secretory pancreatic activity, a method of operation--selective proximal vagotomy added by cutting the celiac branch of the right vagal trunk has been developed. In 42 patients, operated on using the suggested method, the pancreatic secretion, acid production and gastric motility were studied. At observation of up to 7 years, the excellent and good results were noted in 88.09% of patients.
