Objective: To explore the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic transgastric or transpapillary drainage in treating pancreatic pseudocysts.
Methods: The clinical data of 15 patients with pancreatic pseudocyst who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided transgastric or transpapillary drainage in the Chinese PLA General Hospital between June 2004 and February 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Also, we reviewed the relevant Chinese literature in the China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database (from 1994 to 2012) and VIP China Science and Technology Journal Database (from 1989 to 2012) using the key words "pancreatic pseudocyst and drainage". Five literatures including 103 cases were enrolled.
Results: The data of 118 cases undergoing endoscopic drainage, included 94 cases with transgastric approach and 24 with transpapillary approach, entered the final analysis. The success rate was 94.9%, and cysts completely disappeared in 83.9% of the patients. The overall incidence of complications (bleeding, infection, and stent clogging or migration) was 19.5%. One patient lost to follow-up and only one case of recurrence was noted.
Conclusion: Endoscopic transgastric or transpapillary drainage is safe and effective in treating the pancreatic pseudocysts and therefore can be a preferred therapeutic approach.

Endoscopic management of benign pancreaticobiliary disorders encompasses a range of procedures designed to address complications in gallstone disease, choledocholithiasis, and pancreatic disorders. Acute cholecystitis is typically treated with cholecystectomy or percutaneous drainage (PT-GBD), but for high-risk or future surgical candidates, alternative decompression methods, such as endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETP-GBD), and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), are effective. PT-GBD is associated with significant discomfort as well as variable adverse event rates.

This clinical practice guideline from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy provides an evidence-based approach for the role of therapeutic EUS in the management of biliary tract disorders. This guideline was developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework and addresses the following: 1: The role of EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) versus percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) in resolving biliary obstruction in patients after failed ERCP. 2: The role of EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy versus EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy in resolving distal malignant biliary obstruction after failed ERCP.
