title: [Subtotal pancreatic resection in chronic pancreatitis].
abstract: Eight patients with chronic pancreatitis were subjected to subtotal (95%) resection of the pancreas. The authors believe that such surgical intervention should be performed when the pathological process had involved the left half of the gland, while its head remained little changed or intact. Subtotal resection is indicated also in cases of primary pancreatitis when the organ parenchyma is changed and the major pancreatic duct is not dilated. In such cases it is not expedient to make a pancreato-digestive anastomosis.
