The role of ERCP in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pancreatitis
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2023, Vol 28, Issue 4
Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a chronic progressive disease that causes varying degrees of functional damage on pancreatic endocrine and exocrine, seriously affecting the quality of life of the patients. Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) with minimal trauma, high safety, and good efficacy has become a first-line treatment method for CP. ERCP is a first-line treatment method for pancreatic duct stones and pancreatic duct stricture, and complications of CP.
