title: [Endoscopic therapy in chronic pancreatitis].
abstract: In chronic pancreatitis obstruction of the pancreatic ductal system by strictures, stones or pseudocysts seems to play an important part in pathogenesis. Therefore, therapeutic efforts are directed mainly towards reestablishing a free flow of pancreatic secretion. Endoscopic techniques allow decompression of the organ by stenting or stone extraction, as well as evacuation and drainage of pseudocysts. Thus, interventional endoscopy offers safe and long lasting therapy for many patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis. This paper gives a review of the literature and reports on own clinical data.
