“…3 Although limited, current data suggest that the outcomes of endoscopy and surgery for the management of DPDS are suboptimal. [4][5][6] In a recent study of 31 patients who underwent endoscopic transmural drainage of PFCs in the setting of DPDS, there was 42% recurrence of PFCs on long-term follow-up. 6 A randomized trial from Europe that compared permanent and temporary stents for transmural drainage of PFCs found that stent removal was associated with higher rates of PFC recurrence.…”

“…ERCP remains the definitive test for diagnosis and therapy. Data suggest that the ability to place a "bridging" stent that crosses the disruption is associated with higher success for resolution of a disruption [24,25]. However, surgery may be necessary if initial attempts at endoscopic treatment are unsuccessful.…”

Acute pancreatitis is a common cause for hospitalization that carries a substantial burden of disease in the United States and worldwide. Recent reports have encompassed a wide array of topics including new insights into the acinar cell pH microenvironment, signal pathways for acinar cell fate, and the innate immune response. Clinical researchers have reported new methods to assess disease severity, innovative techniques for management of local complications, the importance of early recognition of pancreatic or extrapancreatic infection, and prevention of disease recurrence. Recent data also suggest that specialized centers may be of benefit for the management of severe acute pancreatitis. This review summarizes a number of recent advances in basic and clinical science with an emphasis on findings that are relevant to clinicians who manage patients with acute pancreatitis.

“…Endoscopic treatment of the disrupted PD includes transpapillary stent bridging of the pancreatic leak or diverting pancreatic duct flow [59]. The efficacy of these techniques has been demonstrated in several studies [60][61][62]. Complete duct disruptions are refractory to transpapillary stenting because the upstream disconnected segment maintains secretion.…”

Endoscopic therapy has been increasingly recognized as an effective method of treatment in selected patients with pancreatic diseases. Various endoscopic procedures, classical and modified, are used for the complex treatment of acute and chronic pancreatitis, as well as their complications. In pancreatic carcinoma, some endoscopic methods are applied mainly as palliative measures. There are still open questions regarding the placing and timing of various endoscopic procedures in the multidisciplinary management approach of pancreatic diseases.
