title: [Results of resection treatment of chronic pancreatitis (author's transl)].
abstract: A total of 201 patients with chronic pancreatitis were treated surgically between 1964 and 1975. In 116 cases (57,7%) resection was done at operation: 44 partial and 18 total duodenopancreatectomies, 37 partial and 17 subtotal left pancreatic resections. The mortality rate of the operation was 12.9%. The late mortality was 9.4% based on an average observation period of 2 7/12 years. Three quarters of the patients became completely asymptomatic. Preoperative diabetes was observed in 21% rising to 38% postoperatively. Satisfactory long-term results were mainly seen after partial duodeno-pancreatectomy and subtotal left resection. However, continued alcohol abuse limits the success rate.
