[Remaining pancreas after cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Development and treatment]

The authors relate a series concerning 123 cephalic pancreatico-duodenectomy cases for chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic tumors. Post surgical complications due to pancreatico jejunal anastomosis and those appearing later on in relation with residual parenchyma have been studied; so were described the different therapeutic proceedings remedying to them. The obstruction of Wirsung's duct in the tall of Pancreas with some acrylate glue seems interesting in limiting the post surgical complications if the risk of pancreatic fistula can be prevented while preserving the endocrine function.
