Abstract
Backed by our experience of more than 6000 per- and postoperative flow radiomanometries, we are able to say that when they are carried out at physiological pressures (less than 20 cm water) and with contrast substances whose viscosity and iodine concentration are low (35% and 190 mg/cm3 respectively) they produce pancreatic duct reflux in only 15% of cases — all of which, moreover, presented or had presented clear pancreatic involvement.
