[Endoscopic transmural and transpapillar procedures for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis].

93 patients with chronic pancreatitis were treated endoscopically: 44 had transpapillar procedures and 49 patients had transmural operations. The transmural procedures were applied in case of pancreatic pseudicysts, whereas transpapillar endoscopic operations were applied in cases of the obstructive jaundice, pseudocyst, connected of the main pancreatic duct, virsungolithyasis or ductal pancreatitis with pain syndrome. The endoscopic procedures by chronic pancreatitis proved to be the reliable alternative to the traditional surgery.
