Until recently, the role of endoscopy in patients with chronic pancreatitis was limited only for diagnosis and generally, it was reach in advanced stages of the disease when the changes were evident in other non-invasive methods. Regarding treatment, the role of endoscopy was very limited too with questionable results, it was related mainly to inadequate selection of the patients.
