Core Tip	Many patients present pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreatic resection. Exocrine insufficiency leads to steatorrhoea, flatulence, abdominal pain, weight loss and malnutrition. Extent of resection will determine the severity of insufficiency, but also changes in anatomy may be determining factors. Pancreatogastrostomy is deemed detrimental over the pancreatic function because of the hypothetical inactivation of pancreatic enzymes due to the acid juice of the stomach. In this review we discuss the physiological aspects of the changes in exocrine pancreatic function focusing on the pancreatoenterostomy after a pancreaticoduodenectomy.
