What's Behind it all: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Retrogastric Pancreatic Necrosis Management.

Objective: To compare outcomes of laparoscopic transgastric necrosectomy (LTN) and direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) in the management of retrogastric walled-off necrosis.

Summary Of Background Data: Surgical and endoscopic transgastric approaches are used to manage retrogastric pancreatic necrosis. Studies comparing these treatment modalities are lacking but would influence contemporary practice patterns.
