Abstract:
After the initial episode of acute pancreatitis (AP), some patients have a tendency to relapse.With the development of imaging technologies and genetic tests, the diagnostic accuracy of the etiological factors of recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) such as dysfunction of sphincter of Oddi, pancreas divisum, and genetic mutations are improved.Clinical studies indicate that etiological treatment by endoscopic approaches may reduce recurrence in some RAP patients.In this article, the progress in etiology, diagnosis and treatment of RAP was reviewed.
