Pancreatic disorders encompass a broad spectrum of acute and chronic conditions that significantly impact digestive and metabolic health. Acute pancreatitis remains a common cause of hospitalization, while chronic pancreatitis leads to persistent pain, exocrine insufficiency, and diabetes. Advances in imaging, endoscopy, and biomarkers have improved diagnostic accuracy and disease classification. Management strategies emphasize early risk assessment, nutritional support, pain control, and management of complications. Increasing attention is being paid to autoimmune and hereditary pancreatic diseases. This topic highlights evolving concepts in pancreatic pathophysiology, diagnosis, and multidisciplinary management.
