Background: diagnosis of early chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a challenge due to the lack of accurate methods. The ability of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided biopsy to obtain pancreatic core tissue samples in patients with minimal changes of CP and its potential use for the histological diagnosis of early CP are unknown. 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. (corner points): EUS-PD is indicated for cases, for which conventional methods are ineffective due to altered abdominal anatomy of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as congenital or postoperative conditions that prevent access to the papilla or pancreatoenteric anastomosis.

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).
