Chronic pancreatitis management - 2024 ASGE guidelines explained
In this video, we delve into the latest 2024 guidelines from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, focusing on the role of endoscopy in managing chronic pancreatitis. This essential update, developed using the GRADE framework, provides evidence-based recommendations that can guide clinicians in effectively treating complex cases of chronic pancreatitis.
The video covers key recommendations for the management of painful chronic pancreatitis, including how to address pancreatic duct stones, strictures, and pseudocysts. It offers protocols to help clinicians determine when to opt for endoscopic interventions over surgical options. Notable highlights include guidance on endoscopic therapy versus surgery, particularly for patients with painful chronic pancreatitis and obstructed pancreatic ducts, as well as the advantages of an EUS-guided celiac plexus block over percutaneous approaches for pain relief.
We explore strategies involving ERCP, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and pancreatoscopy for pancreatic duct stone management to provide effective patient care. We also discuss updated recommendations on the use of plastic stents versus fully covered metal stents in managing biliary and pancreatic duct issues. Additionally, the guidelines compare endoscopic and surgical approaches to pseudocyst drainage, helping clinicians choose the best course for each patient.
This video is ideal for medical students, gastroenterologists, and GI surgeons who want to stay current with ASGE standards in managing chronic pancreatitis. We emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including insights into improving patient outcomes, minimizing risks, and personalizing treatments.
