LONG‐TERM RESULTS AFTER ENDOSCOPIC DRAINAGE AND NECROSECTOMY OF SYMPTOMATIC PANCREATIC FLUID COLLECTIONS

Abstract

Endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections is safe and effective, with excellent immediate and long-term results. Endoscopic necrosectomy has a risk of serious complications. The underlying pancreatic duct abnormalities must be addressed to prevent recurrence of fluid collections.
