Core Tip	Chronic pancreatitis is a challenge to the therapeutic endoscopist. A patient with chronic pancreatitis can present with ductal calculi, leaks, pseudocysts, strictures, pancreatic malignancy or a biliary obstruction. Endoscopic therapy offers a high rate of success in properly selected patients. It offers many advantages over surgery, which for a long time was considered the gold standard in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis. This chapter deals with the management of chronic pancreatitis associated strictures, calculi, leaks and pseudocysts. The role of endosonography in management of pseudocysts, cannulation of inaccessible ducts and pain relief has also been discussed.
