Abstract:In a series of 112 patients who had undergone a duodenopancreatectomy (48 carcinoma, 64 pancreatitis), there were 2 deaths (1 carcinoma, 1 pancreatitis). Including a continuous series of 95 cases without death, there were no failures observed in the anastomotic technique described.

The function of duct anastomosis was proved to be patent by the presence of chymotrypsin in the stool of a… Show more
