Summary

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) offer benefits for severe biliary pancreatitis. Therapeutic endoscopy shows promise for various pancreatic diseases, but more trials are needed.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Pancreatic Disease Management

Background:

  • Symptomatic pancreatic diseases have limited treatment options.
  • Endoscopic interventions offer new therapeutic avenues.
  • Evaluating the efficacy of these endoscopic techniques is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current role of endoscopic interventions in managing symptomatic pancreatic diseases.
  • To assess the benefits and limitations of various endoscopic procedures.
  • To identify areas for future research in therapeutic pancreatic endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES).
  • Analysis of outcomes for endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy in chronic pancreatitis.
  • Evaluation of stenting for pancreatic duct strictures and pseudocyst drainage.
  • Consideration of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage.
  • Assessment of therapeutic endoscopy for pancreas divisum and pediatric pancreatic diseases.

Main Results:

  • Early ERCP and ES are beneficial in severe acute biliary pancreatitis.
  • Endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy is safe and effective for chronic pancreatitis.
  • Stenting is primarily for dominant pancreatic duct strictures; routine drainage is not always necessary.
  • Endoscopic drainage resolves most pancreatic pseudocysts, with EUS potentially expanding indications.
  • Therapeutic endoscopy is indicated for symptomatic pancreas divisum and selected pediatric cases.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic interventions provide valuable treatment options for symptomatic pancreatic diseases.
  • Specific procedures like ERCP, ES, stenting, and drainage have defined roles.
  • Further prospective controlled trials are essential to compare endoscopic strategies with alternatives.
