Abstract
A case of pancreatic ascites was presented in which the preoperative use of endoscopic retrograde cannulation of the ampulla of Vater (ERCP) precisely located the site of pancreatic duct disruption and directed the choice of operation best suited to this patient. In this form of ascites preoperative ERCP may aid in the selection of those patients whose lesions are surgically correctable.
