Abstract
|
|
|
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has recently become widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disease. With applications of linear EUS and EUS-guided fine needle aspiration, many EUS-guided interventions are now emerging as feasible treatment options for patients with pancreatobiliary disease. EUS-guided drainage from pseudocyst, bile duct, pancreatic duct, and the gallbladder are becoming routine procedure. EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis and block can relieve intractable pancreatic pain. Moreover, EUS-guided local tumor therapy (ethanol ablation and radiofrequency ablation) may be feasible in selected patients. Safe EUS-guided intervention requires a good deal of experience but is becoming widely used to treat pancreatobiliary disease.
