Popis:	This study was undertaken to determine whether fat absorption is improved following longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy. Ten consecutive patients with chronic pancreatitis underwent measurement of fat absorption (fecal fat, 14C-labeled phenylacetic dipalmitate oil absorption test) before and after operation. Fecal fat increased in 8 of 10 patients following side-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy. However, the average postoperative fecal fat increase of 4.3 gm was of no clinical significance. The observed mild postoperative decline in fat absorption was confirmed by the 14C-labeled phenylacetic dipalmitate test. An improvement in postoperative fat absorption following side-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy Roux-en-Y should not be expected. The primary indication for this procedure for patients with chronic pancreatitis continues to be intractable pain.
