title: [Minor pancreatitis after a Billroth II gastric resection for gastroduodenal ulcer].
abstract: Pancreatic complications arising after 117 Billroth II gastric resections carried out between 1976 and 1980 are evaluated. Changes in blood and urinary amylase were noted in 35% of cases. A distinction is drawn between minor forms (MPOP), and major forms (APOP), with an incidence of 34% and 1% respectively. Lastly, the question of aetiopathogenesis is discussed, with particular reference to the causal factors observed on each occasion.
