Pancreatic duct stenting after P-GW for achieving selective biliary cannulation is recommended to reduce the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Patients with branch-duct type IPMNs without papillary protrusions or TSS are not immediate candidates for surgery. Those who have small papillary protrusions have a benign course. It is recommended that patients with the large branch-duct type with TSS should undergo surgery. Attention should be paid to the entire pancreas when performing follow-up examinations in patients with branch-duct type IPMN, as invasive ductal adenocarcinoma can develop at a site in the pancreas different from that of the IPMN.
