Chronic pancreatitis (CP) significantly impacts quality of life and survival, often requiring hospitalization. Management involves addressing nutritional deficiencies, complications, and pain through multidisciplinary care for better outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Hepatology
- Pancreatology
Background:
- Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a significant cause of hospital admissions, reduced quality of life, and decreased survival.
- Recent S3-Guideline
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize key findings on epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic pancreatitis for clinicians.
- To highlight current therapeutic concepts based on the latest S3-Guideline.
Main Methods:
- Recapitulation of relevant findings from the German Society for Gastroenterology (DGVS) S3-Guideline on Pancreatitis.
- Review of epidemiological data, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic strategies for CP.
Main Results:
- Common causes of CP include alcohol abuse, hereditary factors (e.g., PRSS1 mutation), autoimmune pancreatitis, hyperparathyroidism, and idiopathic forms.
- Management focuses on exocrine/endocrine insufficiency, secondary complications (osteoporosis, malnutrition), and local issues (stenosis, pseudocysts, pain).
- Interdisciplinary teams in specialized centers manage local complications; endoscopic drainage for pseudocysts, early surgery for chronic pain with duct dilation and opioid use.
Conclusions:
- CP is linked to increased morbidity, mortality, and hospitalizations.
- Effective management of complex CP cases necessitates an interdisciplinary approach.
- Therapeutic strategies must be individualized based on disease stage and patient comorbidities.

Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

01:27Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
