Abstrakt: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is an irreversible disease of varied etiology characterized by destruction of pancreatic tissue and loss of both exocrine and endocrine function. Pain is the dominant and most common presenting symptom. The common cause for pain in CP is ductal hypertension due to obstruction of the flow of pancreatic juice in the main pancreatic duct either due to stones or stricture or a combination of both. With advances in technology and techniques, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) and stenting should be the first line of therapy for strictures of the main pancreatic duct (MPD). Small calculi in the MPD can be extracted by ERCP and balloon trawl. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) remains the standard of care for large pancreatic calculi and aims to fragment the stones 3 mm or less that can easily be extracted by a subsequent ERCP. Single operator pancreatoscopy with intraductal lithotripsy is a technique in evolution and can be tried when ESWL is not available or is unsuccessful in producing stone fragmentation.
