ABSTRACT: Over a period of 15 years (January, 1985 to September, 2000) we treated 5 patients with chronic pancreatitis with pancreatic ductal stones. The youngest and the eldest patients were 6 and 14 years respectively; 3 were boys and 2 girls. All the patients presented to us with upper abdominal pain of varying duration. Besides blood biochemistry, other most helpful investigations done were Ultrasonography (USG) and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP). Lateral Pancreatico Jejunostomy and Jejunojejunostomy were done in all of our patients. There was no mortality and no significant postoperative morbidity.
