title: [Controlled fistula of Wirsung's duct].
abstract: In order to prevent the serious pancreatic fistulae which complicate anastomoses between the pancreatic tail and a jejunal loop after cephalic duodenopancreatectomy, we propose a pancreatic fluid derivation on a temporary drain equivalent to a controlled fistula of Wirsung's duct. This already known technique consists of a punctiform anastomosis on an Escat's supporting drain between the main pancreatic duct and the jejunum. No complication occurs when the drain is removed 12 days later, as shown by a series of 24 cephalic duodeno-pancreatectomies where this technique was used.
