Clinical Endoscopic Management of Pancreaticobiliary Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue delves deeply into the advanced clinical management of pancreatic diseases, shedding light on the utilization of advanced endoscopic techniques to diagnose, treat, and monitor disorders affecting the pancreas.

Four main topics will be included in this issue.

Clinical and endoscopic management of acute recurrent pancreatitis. This topic will focus on diagnosing and treating pancreatic and biliary conditions associated with recurrent pancreatitis.

Clinical and endoscopic management of chronic obstructive pancreatitis. This topic will include the endoscopic management of pain and obstructive conditions in chronic pancreatitis, including complications and outcomes.

Clinical and endoscopic management of fluid collections and walled-off necrosis. This topic will focus mainly on the ultrasound-guided and endoscopic therapy of pancreatitis-related complications, such as fluid collection and long-term consequences (walled-off necrosis).

Clinical and endoscopic management of pancreatic solid lesions. This topic will focus on the ultrasound-guided diagnosis and therapy of pancreatic masses, including thermal or cryothermal ablation and immunological response induced by local ablative therapy.

The collection of articles within this Special Issue encapsulates the evolution and refinement of advanced endoscopic techniques. It highlights their pivotal role in the contemporary landscape of gastroenterology and pancreatology and provides a detailed roadmap of best practices and emerging trends in pancreatic endoscopy.

Ultimately, this Special Issue contributes significantly to the advancement of precision medicine in digestive health and serves as a valuable compendium for gastroenterologists, endoscopists, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals involved in the multidisciplinary approach to pancreatic diseases.
