Endotherapy is not only limited either to the diagnosis of AP and CP or to the management of biliary/pancreatic duct stones and strictures but also associated with the treatment of AP and CP complications.

The technological growth of endoscopy has made enormous progress, allowing a less invasive treatment of these pathologies. Obviously, to have a safe role and correct timing, discussions on treatments must be taken by a multidisciplinary group.
