Abstract:
The review is devoted to diagnosis and treatment of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) in patients with acute pancreatitis. Data on terminology, indications and options for endoscopic transluminal interventions are presented in detail. The results of numerous studies evaluating clinical efficacy of various endoscopic and open surgical procedures are analyzed. Available data confirm advisability of staged treatment of DPDS with primary endoscopic drainage of pancreatic fluid accumulations in specialized centers.
