title: [Chronic pancreatitis: resective and decompressive procedures].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Definition of resective and decompressive operations in chronic pancreatitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective analyses of surgical management of 51 chronic pancreatitis patients is carried out. 24 patients underwent longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy (PA), 27--pancreatic head ( PH) resective procedures: Beger--5, modified Frey (PH intraparenchimatose resection-- IR, supposing removal of fibrous masses from the ventral and greater part of the dorsal PH)--22. According to the character of the PH lesion the patients were divided in 3 groups: head dominant (13), total (11) and cystic pancreatitis (20).
  
  
  RESULTS
  One early postoperative death developed after reoperation for adhesive intestinal ileus in patient with PA. No mortality was noted after IR. Remote results in terms of 4.8+/-0,7 years were studied in 32 (71%) patients underwent PA and IR. IR lead to good and satisfactory results. After PA poor results came to 5 (29.5%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Combination of PH IR and PA is indicated in head dominant and total chronic pancreatitis patients. In cases of pseudocysts and dilation of the main pancreatic duct (>6-7 cm) decompressive variant of procedure cysto-pancreato-jejunostomy is preferable.
