Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the common digestive diseases. With the advances in technology, the treatment concept of AP has changed, more and more minimally invasive techniques have been applied in the treatment of AP, especially severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Although there are various different minimally invasive treatment methods for AP, no reliable clinical studies have reported that one technique is significantly better than others. The therapeutic effect of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy in acute pancreatitis (AP) has been widely recognized. In recent years, our team has accumulated rich experience in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for AP and has proposed the innovative SELECT concept (Spyglass, ERCP, Laparoscopy, EUS, Choledochoscopy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine) for diagnosis and treatment. The optimal combination of various endoscopies is SELECTed based on the severity and etiology of AP, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used as well to realize the advantages of minimally invasive integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy in the treatment of AP. This article elaborates on the minimally invasive treatment methods for each clinical stage of SAP based on the SELECT concept.
