Abstract
We very much appreciate the interest generated by our recent publication in Endoscopy entitled “Urgent ERCP with pancreatic stent placement or replacement for salvage of post-ERCP pancreatitis” [1]. In the paper, we presented the second ever published case series involving placement of a pancreatic stent shortly after onset of pancreatitis, with the aim of ameliorating the course of predicted severe post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). Patients included were those without a pancreatic stent, and those patients in whom a pancreatic stent had migrated out prematurely. Dramatic resolution of predicted severe pancreatitis occurred in all patients. Three letters were sent to the Editor regarding this paper, and we have been asked to respond to all three collectively.
