title: Pancreatic ascites. Intraoperative localization of the pancreatic fistula.
abstract: Pancreatic ascites can be diagnosed by demonstration of high amylase concentration in the ascites and ERCP may serve to identify the causal internal fistula. Intraoperatively a precise localization of the ductal leakage is helpful. In two patients we demonstrated the fistulas by stimulation of the pancreatic secretion with secretin.
