Clinical Pancreatology: A Comprehensive Guide for Practicing Gastroenterologists and Surgeons

Since the publication of the first edition sixteen years ago, the field of clinical pancreatology has undergone significant transformations. The emergence of translational research and the “bench to bedside” concept has led to groundbreaking discoveries, which have been successfully applied to clinical practice.

Advances in Pancreatic Diseases Management

Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in the understanding and management of pancreatic diseases. The development of a new, validated classification of severity and complications of acute pancreatitis has paved the way for minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic necrosis. Furthermore, the etiopathogenic knowledge of chronic pancreatitis and other pancreatopaties, such as those associated with diabetes mellitus, has expanded substantially.

The field of cystic pancreatic tumors has experienced rapid growth, reflected in the publication of several guidelines and consensus reports. Pancreatic cancer research has also made significant strides, leading to an increase in therapeutic options for this devastating disease. Additionally, studies have shed new light on exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, altering our understanding of its concept, causes, clinical relevance, diagnosis, and treatment.
