Transgastric pancreatography and EUS-guided drainage of the pancreatic duct are reasonable and feasible alternative options for diagnostic and therapeutic management for selected indications (chronic pancreatitis; anomaly of the congenital pancreatic or postoperative gastrointestinal anatomy), with an acceptable periinterventional risk, which broaden the therapeutic spectrum and may avoid surgery but need further evaluation and follow-up investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
