Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of benign pancreatic diseases

Abstract

Benign pancreatic diseases include inflammation and its complications, anatomical and structural abnormalities, and benign tumors，etc. For the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography（ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were most widely used, which has its own advantages and indications, also they were often used in combination. The development of cholangiopancreatoscope is rapid, and its value in diagnosis and treatment needs further improvement of technique. Endoscopic technology has been carried out in different types of benign pancreatic diseases for its diagnosis and treatment. Due to its advantages of minimally invasive, safe, effective and repeatable，endoscopic technology has become the main method.
