Between 1980 and 1983 an endoscopic occlusion of pancreatic duct was performed in 12 patients with chronic pancreatitis. In 4 patients it could be achieved a complete, in 8 patients only a partial occlusion. Four patients became free of pain whereas 5 patients have been operated on following an aggrevation of disease. After one year diabetes mellitus developed in 2 patients. We conclude that the endoscopic occlusion of the pancreatic duct may be recommended in some patients with defined diagnosis and special duct constellation.
