External transluminal drainage of the pancreatic duct due to fistula caused by postbioptic pancreatic necrosis [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2005
Background. Pancreatic fistulas are not frequent after the needle biopsy of the pancreatic head. The aim was to present a patient with this type of fistula who was managed using the surgical method never previously applied in our surgical practice.

Walled-off pancreatic necrosis. [PDF]

The Netherlands journal of medicine, 2012
Acute severe pancreatitits may be complicated by the development of 'walled-off pancreatic necrosis' (WOPN), which is characterised by a mixture of solid components and fluids on imaging studies as a consequence of organised pancreatic tissue necrosis.

Endoscopic Transmural Necrosectomy for Walled-Off Pancreatic Necrosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2014
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 ...

EUS-Guided Multitransgastric Endoscopic Necrosectomy for Infected Pancreatic Necrosis with Noncontagious Retroperitoneal and Peritoneal Extension

Gut and Liver, 2010
Endoscopic necrosectomy was introduced as a safe and effective treatment modality for infected pancreatic necrosis. Although there have been many reports of endoscopic drainage of retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosis, the optimal endoscopic management of ...

Endoscopic ultrasound criteria to predict the need for intervention in pancreatic necrosis [PDF]

BMC Gastroenterology, 2012
Background The natural course and treatment strategies for asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic pancreatic necrosis are still poorly defined. The aim of this retrospective study was to establish criteria for the need of intervention in patients with ...

Extrapancreatic necrosis without pancreatic parenchymal necrosis: a separate entity in necrotising pancreatitis?

Gut, 2012
In the revised Atlanta classification of acute pancreatitis, the term necrotising pancreatitis also refers to patients with only extrapancreatic fat necrosis without pancreatic parenchymal necrosis (EXPN), as determined on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Patients with EXPN are thought to have a better clinical outcome, although robust data are lacking.A ...

Managing Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

Chirurgia, 2018
The management of infected pancreatic necrosis has historically been based on early, open necrosectomy, associated with significant mortality. In recent years, an evidence based transformation has occurred towards the step-up approach consisting of percutaneous catheter drainage, if necessary, followed by minimally invasive necrosectomy.

Walled-off pancreatic necrosis

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2010
Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN), formerly known as pancreatic abscess is a late complication of acute pancreatitis. It can be lethal, even though it is rare. This critical review provides an overview of the continually expanding knowledge about WOPN, by review of current data from references identified in Medline and PubMed, to September 2009 ...

Management of infected pancreatic necrosis: state of the art

Revista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões, 2017
Pancreatic necrosis occurs in 15% of acute pancreatitis. The presence of infection is the most important factor in the evolution of pancreatitis. The diagnosis of infection is still challenging.

[Treatment of pancreatic necrosis and secondary pancreatic infections].

Chirurgia italiana, 2002
Acute pancreatitis is a disease capable of the widest clinical expression, ranging from mild discomfort to multiorgan failure and death. Moreover, the process may remain localized in the pancreas, or spread to regional tissues, or even involve remote organs.
