Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreas potentially giving rise to several complications. For this reason, patients need long-term care and treatment by medical, interventional, and sometimes surgical measures. This article reviews current state-of-the-art strategies and guidelines for treating chronic pancreatitis with conventional and endoscopic measures.Entities:
