Current Status of Direct Endoscopic Necrosectomy
The management of pancreatic necrosis has evolved. Sterile necrosis is now managed conservatively. Intervention is generally required for infected necrosis but is now deferred until four weeks after disease onset in order to permit encapsulation and ...

Endoscopic Necrosectomy as Treatment for Infected Pancreatic Necrosis [PDF]
Necrotising pancreatitis can be life-threatening, but the introduction of endoscopic necrosectomy has led to a tremendous reduction of lethality. This review describes the technique and role of this method between conservative treatment and other ...

Endoscopic Transmural Necrosectomy for Walled-Off Pancreatic Necrosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic transmural necrosectomy (ETN) is emerging as a viable treatment option for walled-off pancreatic necrosis. This NOTES-type procedure is significantly less invasive than an extensive surgical debridement; however, published data ...

Timing It Right: Endoscopic Necrosectomy for Infected Necrotizing Pancreatitis
The endoscopic step-up drainage approach involving initial drainage followed by, if required, direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) is the preferred management approach for symptomatic pancreatic necrotic collections.
