Transmural endoscopic necrosectomy of infected pancreatic necroses and drainage of infected pseudocysts: A tailored approach

Abstract

Transgastric endoscopy is an effective minimally invasive procedure even in patients with advanced pancreatic necroses. Complication rate is low particularly in patients with sole pseudocysts or localized necroses. The extent of the fluid collections and necroses is a new predictive parameter for the outcome of the patients.
