Abstract
Recently, interventional endoscopy has been increasingly used to treat pancreaticobiliary diseases in pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM)/congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) patients. However, there has been no detailed description of endotherapy for PBM/CBD thus far. Herein, we describe the role of endoscopic therapy on the biliary drainage including bile duct drainage and gallbladder drainage, stones and/or protein plugs removal, peripancreatic fluid collections, and choledochocele in PBM/CBD. In conclusion, although the fundamental therapy in PBM/CBD patients is surgical intervention, endotherapy appears to be useful for the treatment of PBM/CBD-induced complications.
