Transgastric pancreatic necrosectomy: Tricks of the trade
Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) affects 20 % of the 300,000 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis every year. Mechanical intervention to debride necrotic and/or infected pancreatic and peripancreatic tissue is frequently required.

Open necrosectomy in acute pancreatitis–obsolete or still useful? [PDF]
Background Multiple organ failure and early surgery are associated with high morbimortality after open necrosectomy. Data are mostly derived from historical cohorts with early necrosectomy bereft of step-up treatment algorithm implementation.

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 ...

Transgastric and transduodenal endoscopic drainages and necrosectomy are minimally invasive and effective way for the treatment of infected necrosis in the setting of acute pancreatitis (AP), but are limited in case of large and distant collections or in

Direct Endoscopic Necrosectomy: Timing and Technique [PDF]
Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is one of the local complications of acute pancreatitis (AP). Several interventional techniques have been developed over the last few years. The purpose of this narrative review is to explore such methodologies, with specific focus on endoscopic drainage and direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN), through evaluation ...

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.

Endoscopic Versus Surgical Management for Infected Necrotizing Pancreatitis and Walled-Off Necrosis: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Infected necrotizing pancreatitis and walled-off necrosis are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The evolution from open necrosectomy to minimally invasive and endoscopic strategies has improved outcomes, yet ...
