title: [Analysis of classifications of chronic pancreatitis and criteria determining the strategy of surgical treatment].
abstract: The authors made an analysis of most widespread classifications of chronic pancreatitis and results of the retrospective distribution of 120 patients in them. A conclusion is made that the volume of surgical interventions in most cases is determined by morphological alterations in the pancreas. The most important of them are thought to be changed pancreas parenchyma (criterion "P"), large cavities (criterion "C") and dilatation of Wirsung's duct (criterion "H"). Such morphology is an indication for transferring the patient to the surgical department. The clinical picture and morphological analysis determine expediency of surgery. The method of surgical treatment depends on the localization and combination of morphological alterations.
