Purpose: Even though endoscopic necrosectomy for walled-off pancreatic necrosis is safe and effective, open surgery
has an important role in cases with extended necrosis when the non-surgical approaches are not feasible. Authors
compare their results of conventional and transgastric open necrosectomy.
Methods: A total of 29 patients were treated with extended walled-off pancreatic necrosis. Conventional open
necrosectomy with closed bursal lavage was performed in group A (18 patients) and transgastric necrosectomy was
performed in group B (11 patients). There were no significant differences between the two groups related to sex, age,
etiology of pancreatitis, size of WOPN and time elapsed from the onset of disease and surgery.
Results: For all complications, the difference was significant between bo.. View More»
