Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is primarily a therapeutic tool for acute pancreatitis, not diagnostic. Advanced ERCP procedures for pancreatitis should be performed in specialized centers.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Endoscopy
Pancreatology

Background:

The role of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in managing acute pancreatitis has shifted significantly since its introduction.
Diagnostic utility has decreased due to less invasive methods, while therapeutic applications remain crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the current therapeutic and diagnostic role of ERCP in the management of acute pancreatitis.
To review the evolving indications and applications of ERCP in pancreatitis.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive English literature search was performed using the PubMed database.
Reviewed articles focused on ERCP in acute pancreatitis, its etiologies, complications, and endotherapy.

Main Results:

ERCP is a primary therapy for biliary pancreatitis, microlithiasis, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, pancreas divisum, ascariasis, and malignancy.
It offers therapeutic benefits for recurrent, smoldering pancreatitis, and complications like duct disruptions, fluid collections, and necrosis.
Intraductal ultrasound and pancreatoscopy during ERCP aid in detecting pancreatic malignancy.

Conclusions:

ERCP's role in acute pancreatitis is predominantly therapeutic, with occasional diagnostic value.
Its application continues to evolve, necessitating specialized centers for advanced invasive procedures.
