title: [Surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis in children].
abstract: Chronic relapsing pancreatitis and its hereditary form are very rare in children. Our experience with early operative treatment in nine children is presented. The good exocrine and endocrine function of the pancreas in these patients justifies early operation when typical changes of the pancreatic duct are present since it shortens the relapsing clinical course and maintains good function of the pancreas.
