Abstract:
As a progressive and chronic intractable disease, chronic pancreatitis (CP) is generally manifested as early chronic pain, and then exocrine and endocrine insufficiency, and various complications in clinical course. The complex clinical manifestations lead to the controversies over treatment strategies at present, involving a multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) approach. It can enable different professional medical experts to discuss the diagnosis and treatment for patients together during a specific period (online or offline), which is an effective mode for diagnosing and treating complex diseases nowadays. MDT for CP usually begins with lifestyle intervention and drug therapy, and then goes with endoscopic interventions and surgical resection, or their combination. This article reviewed the current status on MDT approaches for CP and shared the MDT experience from Changhai Hospital in order to improve the management of CP course.
