Therapeutic stent placement is intended to restore the proper flow of pancreatic secretion with stenoses, leaks, fistulas or anatomical malformation of the pancreatic duct. Depending on the etiology, plastic stents or SEMSs are used. Another field of pancreatic stenting represents EUS-guided puncture with stent implantation as an alternative access to the main pancreatic duct when transpapillary access is impossible. In addition to the implantation of plastic stents, which achieve good results, LAMS implantation can be discussed as an alternative access route.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The field of pancreatic stenting is complex and belongs in the hands of experienced endoscopists in specialized institutions.
