CP can lead to numerous complications, including pain, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and endocrine insufficiency. Although CP is challenging to treat, there are a broad array of treatment strategies, including medical management, endoscopic interventions, and surgery. The goal of this article is to provide a systematic approach to management of CP and an overview of the evidence supporting different therapies.
