Pancreatic lithiasis

Pancreatic calculi, also known as pancreolithiasis. In recent years, due to the increased incidence of chronic pancreatitis and the increase in various imaging examination methods, the detection rate of pancreatic calculi has also shown an increasing trend. The detection rates of pancreolithiasis reported domestically and internationally vary. The detection rate of pancreolithiasis abroad accounts for 30–60% of chronic pancreatitis cases in the same period, while the domestic detection rate is relatively low, about 10%, which may be related to the fact that chronic alcoholic pancreatitis is less common than biliary tract disease in China.
