Pancreatic duct obstruction

  • surgery (open or minimally invasive) should be considered as first-line treatment in adults with painful chronic pancreatitis that is causing obstruction of the main pancreatic duct

  • consider extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for adults with pancreatic duct obstruction caused by a dominant stone if surgery is unsuitable
