ABSTRACT
In 38 elderly and senile patients, in whom an acute necrotic pancreatitis (ANP) was diagnosed, morphological changes in the walls of intra- and extrapancreatic arteries were studied, including dorsal pancreatic artery, big pancreatic artery (Heller) and their branches. The patients were operated, using open surgical access, on the 10 - 26-th day after admittance to hospital for purulent-septic complications of pancreonecrosis. In total 9 (24%) patients died. Changes of intra- and extrapancreatic arteries causes the essential reduction of the splanchnic blood flow intensity and necrotic changes in pancreatic parenchyma and parapancreatic cellular space.

Results of surgical treatment of 120 patients, suffering complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis, were analyzed. In 5 patients pancreaticoduodenal resection in accordance to Whipple method have constituted the operation of choice. The indications for operation were: impossibility to exclude completely the malignant process inside pancreatic head; enhancement of the pancreatic head, causing duodenal, common biliary duct and the pancreatoduodenal zone vessels compression; cystic changes of pancreatic head with several episodes of hemorrhage inside the cyst and duodenum. The immediate, short-term and intermediate results of the operation were estimated as good and satisfactory.
