[Pain and pancreaticojejunostomy. Considerations on surgical anatomy and physiopathology]. / Dolore e pancreatico-digiunostomia. Considerazioni di anatomia chirurgica e fisiopatologia.

ABSTRACT

The Authors report the case of a patient who, following a side-to-side Wirsung-jejunostomy for chronic pancreatitis, became symptomatic again for anastomotic obstruction and progression of the pancreatic disease. Results of pancreaticojejunostomy are compared to those reported by other Authors. Controversies on pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy are analyzed as well.
