Abstract

Pancreatic fistula is one of the common complications that may arises after upper gastrointestinal surgery, acute pancreatitis and, more rarely, abdominal traumas. The treatment is mainly based on conservative therapy. However, for persistent ones, endoscopi-cal management is now-a-days considered as the surgical one. In this brief discussion, we want to focus the pathophysiological bases of endoscopic treatment for pancreatic leaks and fistulas. C
