Abstract
“Split” pancreaticojejunostomy is a procedure consisting of vertical transection of the pancreas
and anastomosis of both sides of the cut pancreatic duct with an interposed, Roux-en-Y jejunal
loop. In this paper we report the long term results of this procedure in the treatment of eight
patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP).
