The observation of 32 cases of primary (autonomous) pancreatitis with more or less pronounced mechanical jaundice resulting from a compression of the pancreatic portion of the common bile duct is analyzed. The authors believe that it is necessary to abolish both biliary and pancreatic hypertension and to create favourable conditions for the outflow of the bile and pancreatic juice. Variants of the operations are thought to depend on the degree and extension of changes in the both systems of ducts.
