When you choose Mayo Clinic's campus in Florida for pancreatitis treatment, you'll have your test results, diagnosis and treatment plan in place in days, not weeks. The nationally recognized Pancreas Clinic at Mayo Clinic offers care by specialists focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the pancreas, including acute and chronic pancreatitis.
Mayo Clinic’s experts are skilled in extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) to treat patients with chronic pancreatitis who develop painful pancreatic duct stones. This procedure involves concentrating shock waves to fragment the stones in the pancreatic duct. Then, either the fragments are passed, or our experts perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to clear the duct.
