[The loss of exocrine pancreas-function following operation for pancreatitis (author's transl)].
In a follow-up-series on 37 patients, who had been operated on for pancreatitis, the effect of pancreas insufficiency on the well-being of resected and non-resected patients was examined. Analyses of fatcontent in feces, collected over a three day-period, revealed that all patients with chronic pancreatitis now had a maldigestion, in particular patients with duodenopancreatectomie. Pseudocyst-patients showed no maldigestion. Increased in the bodyweight in most cases could not only be explained by drug-substituion of encymes but was also due to the resection of the pain-producing area of the pancreas.
