[A method for surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis: transduodenal pancreaticoplasty].
We report on a surgical procedure that allows a transduodenal exploration of the pancreatic duct and a restoration of drainage of pancreatic juice to the duodenum: the transduodenal pancreas plasty. Most forms of calcifying pancreatitis and duct obstruction in the head of the pancreas are suitable. The procedure always requires a cholecystectomy and a papilloplasty. It is, in most instances, combined with a long pancreatico-jejunostomy. There is low morbidity and mortality in our series. In contrast to resections this procedure avoids impairment of glucose metabolism.
