[Calculous pancreatitis]

On the grounds of 12 observations over calcareous pancreatitis cases (10 of them were operated upon) some problems of etiology and clinical picture of the disease have been considered. The longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy without resection or with distal pancreatic resection, the authors' method included, is accepted as the method of choice. The immediate and late results of this operation are satisfactory.
