About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term effects of ERCP and surgery in pediatric patients with pancreatic duct stones. The main objective is to determine the optimal treatment choice(ERCP or surgery) for children with pancreatic duct stones and identify the appropriate timing for surgery in patients who have undergone multiple ERCP procedures, in order to avoid adverse outcomes caused by repeated trauma to the duodenal papilla.
