[Reconstructive operation following duodenopancreatectomy].

Based on 203 operations of our clinic, the most frequent procedures of reconstruction after duodenopancreatectomy are analysed and compared with the results published in the literature. The surgical management of the remaining pancreas carries a high morbidity. An anastomosis should only be attempted with a fibrotic organ. In presence of a soft organ either a ligature of the duct or its open drainage is advisable. A total pancreatectomy for merely technical reasons is unacceptable.
