Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) and recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) are associated with comorbidities and high medical cost. Patients may need endoscopy in addition to medical treatment during pancreatitis episodes. Endoscopy may also be performed to evaluate GI symptoms (ie: abdominal pain) that may or may not be related to CP or RAP. Patients with refractory CP or RAP may benefit from total pancreatectomy with islet cell auto-transplantation (TPIAT). We evaluated the endoscopy burden of pediatric patients with CP or RAP, and to see if patients who have undergone TPIAT experience a different endoscopy burden.
