Background And Aims: Pancreatic endotherapy (PET) offers a treatment option for complications of chronic pancreatitis (CP) such as pancreatic duct (PD) strictures, stones, and pseudocysts. As prior studies have primarily focused on how PET affects pain, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PET on quality of life.
Methods: This single-center prospective study assessed quality of life before the initiation of endotherapy utilizing a validated CP-specific quality of life instrument (PANQOLI).

Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis frequently results in mandibular asymmetry, which impairs an affected person's ability to function and look good.

Methods: Patients with mandibular asymmetry and TMJ ankylosis who had surgery at a tertiary care facility between certain periods were the subject of a retrospective investigation.
