Diabetes evolution among patients who underwent surgery for chronic pancreatitis has been evaluated (10 had left pancreatectomy, 23 pancreatoduodenectomy, 39 pancreaticojejunostomy, 13 other operations not on the pancreas). On the basis of insulin needs for achieving a normal glycemic status, left p...

The choice of such surgical treatment should be justified, besides the local pathologicoanatomic situation, by a well established endocrine impairment.
