Video Summary

Summary:<br /><br />In this video, Dr. Martin Freedman discusses endoscopic management of chronic pancreatitis. He highlights that chronic pancreatitis represents a spectrum of diseases and is not a single disease. He emphasizes the importance of integrated care and tailoring treatment to the individual patient's symptoms and etiology. Dr. Freedman also discusses the various treatment options for chronic pancreatitis, including endoscopic therapy, surgery, and medical management. He presents several cases to illustrate different treatment approaches based on the patients' unique circumstances. Additionally, he discusses the SHARP study, a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized trial that evaluates the efficacy of sphincterotomy for idiopathic pancreatitis. Dr. Freedman urges healthcare providers to refer patients with deviSCM and recurrent acute pancreatitis to SHARP centers for further evaluation and potential enrollment in the study.
