Minimally invasive and standard surgical therapy for complications of pancreatitis and for benign tumors of the pancreas and duodenal papilla.
The treatment of severe pancreatitis and its complications is rapidly evolving because of increasing clinical application of effective, minimally invasive techniques. With ongoing innovations in therapeutic endoscopy, image-guided percutaneous techniques, and minimally invasive surgery, the long-standing traditional management algorithms have recently changed. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the treatment of complicated inflammatory diseases of the pancreas and benign periampullary tumors. Surgeons, gastroenterologists, and therapeutic radiologists combine expertise as members of a team to offer their patients improved outcomes and faster recovery.
