title: [Postoperative pancreatitis as cause of premature stenosis of neostomy after gastrectomy. 3 cases].
abstract: Acute postoperative pancreatitis is a tragic and somewhat inexplicable accompaniment of a surgical operations. Three cases are showed and the etiology discussed. The elevation of the amylase levels in the serum after operation are observed. After gastrectomy, an elevated serum amylase level appears to represent pancreatitis occasionally, but more frequently leakage or stasis of pancreatic secretion. a modest rise in the serum amylase level after operation, cannot be interpreted as having clinical significance.
