Progress of endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage
A variety of reasons caused pancreatic duct obstruction,easy to induce abdominal pain and pancreatitis,need to treat with pancreatic duct drainage.With the development of endoscopic minimally invasive interventional tech-niques,endoscopic drainage is preferred for unresectable pancreatic tumors and pancreatic duct obstruction caused by benign lesions.Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage(EUS-PDD)can be a good solution to the pa-tients of unsuccessful or unworkable endoscopic retrograde pancreatography(ERP),enriched and improved pancreatic duct drainage endoscopic treatment methods.This article mainly summarized the new progress in case of selection,sur-gical method and surgical device selection,operation success rate,complications and long-term efficacy.We expect that clinicians will have a comprehensive understanding of EUS-PDD.
