Abstract

We have used minimal invasive therapy in the treatment of pancreatic diseases for a long time. CT and/or ultrasound guided techniques have been used for the treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts for more than 20 years. The development of technology has also made an opportunity for the extensive use of laparoscopic surgery at patients suffering from pancreatic diseases. Currently, almost every type of open operation has a laparoscopic version, too. By now we can take part in the combined use of the CT/US and laparoscopic techniques. Recently the new NOTES procedures have appeared. Based on the literary items, the author summarizes the possibilities of minimal invasive treatments in pancreatic diseases.
