In a survey, damages of the exocrine pancreas in form of pancreatopathies and particularly of pancreatitis caused by diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are discussed under the special consideration of pathomorphological aspects. For the underpinning of pathogenetical conceptions, additional results of animal experiments are included. Main subjects of the treatise are those injuries of the exocrine pancreas which may be induced by biopsy of the pancreas, endoscopic retrograde pancreatography, operations in the upper abdomen, and medicaments.
