Abstract in brief

This study evaluated the use of digital single-operator pancreatoscopy (DSOP) as a new method for treating pancreatic duct stones in patients with chronic pancreatitis and found it to be highly effective, achieving complete stone clearance in 90% of cases after an average of about 1.4 procedures.
The treatment significantly reduced patients' pain, with over 82% reporting overall pain relief after 6 months, and a smaller percentage experiencing complete pain relief; serious adverse events were relatively rare at 12.5%.
The findings suggest that DSOP-guided lithotripsy is a safe and effective alternative to traditional methods like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), especially in highly selected patients, potentially improving outcomes in pancreatic duct stone management.]
