Core Tip	Pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is an essential management option in patients with chronic pancreatitis associated with intractable pain and a dilated pancreatic duct (PD). Our retrospective study demonstrated that in the setting of a uniformly dilated PD, short PJ provides adequate decompression of the PD. As the clinical outcomes following short PJ are not inferior to those of long PJ, short PJ should be preferred as a surgical option in the case of a uniformly dilated PD. The use of short PJ is beneficial to patients due to shorter operating time, lower need for blood transfusion and lower rate of surgical complications.
