[Long term results following surgical therapy for chronic pancreatitis (author's transl)]. 1977

K D Rumpf, and A Neter, and K Atuahene

A report is presented on the results of the follow-up examination of 43 patients who had been previously operated on chronic pancreatitis. Clinical data such as the patients' well being, their ability to work were collected and specific tests for the function of the pancreas such as fat-content in faeces and glucose-tolerance-test were made. It was shown, that the pancreas-resected patients felt better in themselves. Moreover, their clinical picture was superior to that of non-resected patients although they had initially required a longer postoperative rehabilitation phase. Pseudocysts, which had been drained, showed no diminution of the pancreas function, nor any tendency to rest-pancreatitis.
