ABSTRACT

Some patients with acute pancreatitis (AP)can relapse after initial cure. With the development and maturity of diagnosis and treatment technology,especially the rise of endoscopic technology,the detection rate of AP recurrence (such as bile duct stones,Oddi sphincter dysfunction,pancreas divisum,gene mutation,etc. )is increased. Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP)is characterized by various causes,and complex mechanisms. Understanding etiology and positive treatment play a pivotal role in reducing the incidence of RAP. This article reviewed the advances in study on etiology of RAP.
