Abstract
In a retrospective review of 51 patients undergoing palliative procedures for carcinoma of the pancreas from 1974 to 1979, cholecystoenterostomy was as effective as choledochoenterostomy. Patients with loops had the same incidence of cholangitis as those with Roux-Y limbs. Prophylactic gastroenterostomy was not performed routinely. Few patients needed a later gastroenterostomy for progressive cancer.
