Description: Relates the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis to secretory mechanisms, and shows the construction of a unified concept of the etiology of inflammation within the pancreas. Evidence is accumulated from anatomic studies, manometric determinations of the intracholedochal and intrapancreatic ductal secretory pressure, physiologic investigations in experimental pancreatitis, and analyses of the clinical correlations observed in human pancreatitis.
