The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of different EUS-guided biopsy core needles to obtain histological samples of healthy pig pancreas.

: Drawing upon over twenty years of clinical experience in endoscopic and endosonographic procedures, along with comprehensive literature research, we present an overview on EUS-guided pancreatography and pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) as an alternative approach, encompassing indications, procedural methods, and outcomes, including complications and the success rate. Narrative review.

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).
