[Surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis in combination with duodenal ulcer disease].

Results of two surgeries--total and subtotal resection of pancreatic head in combination with selective proximal vagotomy (SPV)--performed for chronic pancreatitis and duodenal ulcer disease (DUD) are presented. In one case surgery was supplemented with circular resection of the duodenum and fundoplication. Reconstructive stage of both surgeries included creation of pacreato- and biliodigestive anastomosis on Roux intestinal loop. Choledochojejunoanastomosis was created on the same loop of the small intestine either "end-to-side" with supraduodenal part of common bile duct or "side-to-side" with its pancreatic part. The former surgery was finished with duodenoduodenoanastomosis "end-to-end" for recovery of duodenal passage. This surgery was characterized by complete removal of pancreatic head. The latter surgery corresponded to Beger's operation. There were no complications in the nearest postoperative period. Long-term results were favorable and followed up during 17.5 and 7 months, respectively. This experience testifies that resection of pancreatic head with SPV may be considered as alternative to pancreatoduodenal resection in surgical treatment of patients with chronic pancreatitis.
