Abstract:
An account is given in this paper of possibilities for reconstructive procedures, primarily in the wake of partial pancreatectomy, with reference being made to experience obtained by the author form surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis. Benefits and setbacks of various methods are discussed in some detail, for example, duodenum or stomach preservation. The author continues to support cephalic duodenopancreatectomy with pancreaticogastrostomy on patients with chronic pancreatitis, however, with due observance of stringent criteria. That approach is considered equal to drainage methods.
