Abstract: Pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a pancreatic cystic lesion with malignant potential, the management of which relies on accurate diagnosis, risk stratification, and surveillance. Endoscopic techniques, particularly endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), play crucial roles in the diagnosis, risk assessment, and therapeutic decision-making for IPMN. However, their application still faces challenges including technical limitations, operator dependence, cost-effectiveness considerations, and controversies regarding long-term surveillance strategies.This article comprehensively reviewed the current applications and recent advancements in gastrointestinal endoscopy for managing IPMN, and discussed future directions for refining personalized, precision-based treatment approaches.
