Childhood pancreatic stone treatment review
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks back at how children with stones in their pancreas were treated and how they did. It may help doctors understand better ways to care for kids with this condition.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a small plastic tube placed in the pancreas during an ERCP procedure to see if it helps prevent a painful complication called post-ERCP pancreatitis. It aims to understand if the tube stays in place and if it causes any problems.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (prosthesis) in the pancreas before removing gallbladder and bile duct stones during ERCP can prevent pancreatitis. It is for people with small gallbladder stones and bile duct stones who are at higher risk for pancreatitis after the procedure.
This study tests two procedures—endotherapy and shockwave lithotripsy—to break up and remove stones blocking the main pancreatic duct. It aims to relieve duct blockage and prevent complications in people who have painless chronic pancreatitis.
This trial tests placing a small plastic tube (stent) in your pancreatic duct early during ERCP to try to prevent pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It’s for people having their first ERCP to get into their bile duct.
This trial studies how doctors should best check and manage people with suspected bile duct stones. It may help improve the accuracy and safety of next-step testing and treatment.
This trial studies gallbladder stones in children to understand what causes them. It looks at different types of stones and how they relate to conditions like hemolytic anemia, and helps guide treatment decisions.
