ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND (EUS) GUIDED DRAINAGE OF WALLED OF PANCREATIC NECROSIS (WOPN)
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract Approximately 20% of patients with acute pancreatitis develop pancreatic necrosis. Pancreatic necrosis is associated with high mortality and morbidity. In the last few decades, there has been a significant revolution in the treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis. A step-up approach has been proposed, from less invasive procedures to the operative intervention. Minimally invasive treatment modalities such as endoscopic drainage and necrosectomy, percutaneous drainage, and minimally invasive surgery have recently replaced open surgical necrosectomy as the first-line treatment option. Endoscopic intervention for pancreatic necrosis is being increasingly performed with good success and a lower complication rate. The objective of this paper is to update the concepts of endoscopic interventional therapy of pancreatic necrosis¹.
