Management of Benign Pancreatic Diseases

For generations, freshly minted surgical residents heard the advice: “eat when you can, sleep when you can…and don’t mess with the pancreas.” Times have changed. Gastroenterologists, interventional endoscopists, and surgeons have learned how to diagnose and treat benign pancreatic diseases with remarkable success. This issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clin ics of North America highlights interventions using endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and treatment of recurrent acute pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, and pancreatic cyst drainage.
