Abstract
- The treatment of pancreatic ascites remains a clinical challenge. Both medical and surgical management have high rates of mortality and recurrence. New methods in the treatment of pancreatic ascites are actively sought. We describe the successful use of a continuous infusion of octreotide acetate in the treatment of refractory alcoholic pancreatic ascites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
