[Longitudinal Wirsung gastrostomy in the surgical management of chronic pancreatitis].

UNLABELLED: The longitudinal pancreatico-jejunostomy is a commonly used procedure in the management of the chronic pancreatitis with dilated pancreatic duct (Wirsung), however the drainage of the dilated pancreatic duct is realizable with longitudinal Wirsungo-gastrostomy to. We present one clinical case of chronic pancreatitis with dilated pancreatic duct, where the pancreatic drainage was realized with an anastomosis between the dilated Wirsung duct and the posterior wall of the stomach (longitudinal Wirsungo-gastrostomy).

RESULTS

One year after Wirsungo-gastrostomy (postoperative reevaluation of the patient) a general well condition without subjective accuses, ponderal increase and stabile glucidic metabolism was found.

CONCLUSION

The Wirsungo-gastrostomy could represent an alternative procedure in the management of the chronic pancreatitis with dilated pancreatic duct.
