Recent innovations in therapeutic endoscopy for pancreatobiliary diseases

摘要

The development of endoscopic treatment for pancreatobiliary diseases in recent years is remarkable. In addition to conventional transpapillary treatments under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ( ERCP ), new endoscopic ultrasound‐guided therapy is being developed and implemented. On the other hand, due to the development/improvement of various devices such as new metal stents, a new therapeutic strategy under ERCP is also advocated. The present review focuses on recent advances in the endoscopic treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts, walled‐off necrosis, malignant biliary strictures, and benign biliary/pancreatic duct strictures.
