title: [Somatostatin in the treatment of acute pancreatitis and prevention of postoperative acute pancreatitis. Personal experience].
abstract: Authors' personal experience is reported in the use of somatostatin for the treatment of acute pancreatitis and after bilio-pancreatic surgery. The drug has proved to be highly effective in reducing the pain and in controlling the biohumoral balance. The preliminary results appear to confirm the opinion that somatostatin is a major therapeutic tool in the treatment of bilio-pancreatic diseases.
