No question: I'm not sure what you're looking for, but the procedure suggested is typical for chronic pancreatitis. The goal of the operation is usually pain relief, and there is some older experiments that suggest it may even preserve some of the digestive function of the pancreas. Hope this helps!

Your question?: There are congenital or inherited forms of pancreatitis, pancreaticojejunostomy is an appropriate treatment.
