Presentation 4B - Endoscopic Pancreatic Disease Discussions 2

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses two cases of patients with pancreatitis. In the first case, the patient has chronic pancreatitis and multiple failed attempts at ERCP due to a large calcific obstruction in the pancreatic duct. The panel discusses different options for treatment, including surgery and repeated endoscopic therapy. They also discuss the importance of having a skilled assistant during these procedures. In the second case, the patient has recurrent acute pancreatitis and is found to have pancreas divisum on imaging. The panel discusses the approach to diagnosing and treating pancreas divisum, including the use of secretin and different techniques for cannulation and sphincterotomy. They highlight the challenges and considerations in these cases and discuss the need for further evidence to guide optimal management.
