Endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy offers a safe and effective treatment for chronic pancreatitis, successfully relieving pain in most patients. The technique now includes endoscopic elimination of pancreatic juice and protein plugs.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Chronic pancreatitis presents significant challenges in pain management and treatment.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) based interventions are evolving for pancreatic diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the procedure and evaluate endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy for chronic pancreatitis.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this endoscopic technique in pain relief.

Main Methods:

  • Endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy performed since 1982.
  • Inclusion of endoscopic elimination of viscid pancreatic juice and protein plugs.
  • Evaluation of outcomes in 21 cases of chronic pancreatitis.

Main Results:

  • Successful implementation of pancreatic sphincterotomy as a safe technique.
  • Absence of complications in the treated cases.
  • Significant pain relief (abdominal and back pain) in 19 out of 21 patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy is a safe and effective endoscopic treatment for chronic pancreatitis.
    • The procedure demonstrates high efficacy in alleviating pain associated with the condition.
    • Recent advancements include endoscopic clearance of pancreatic secretions, further enhancing treatment potential.
