title: Surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis.
abstract: To contribute to the solution of the problems related to the treatment of chronic pancreatitis, a retrospective study was carried out on 60 cases of chronic pancreatitis treated by surgery over a period of 20 years. On the basis of the obtained results, it is believed that the derivative procedures are more likely to be successful in the treatment of the disease. Pancreaticojejunostomy according to Puestow should be the procedure of choice, since it shows a lower pre-and postoperative risk while preserving the endocrine and exocrine function of the organ.
