[Current trends in the surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis].
Since May 1980, we started treating patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis with pancreatic duct obstruction. During surgery, prolamine, a alcoholic amino-acid solution, was injected into the pancreas through the papil of Vater or directly into the pancreatic duct following pancreatic tail resection. So far thirteen patients were treated this way. Operative mortality was nil and complications were minimal. There were no clinical recurrences of pancreatitis after nearly two years of follow-up.
