Necrotizing pancreatitis often demands intervention; contemporary management is directed by the step-up approach. Timing of intervention and specific approach is best directed by a multi-disciplinary team including advanced endosocpists, interventional radiologists, and surgeons with interest and experience managing this complex problem. The intervention is often a combination of percutaneous drainage, transluminal endoscopic approaches, and surgical debridement (minimally invasive or open).

Endoscopic Step-Up Approach in Management of Necrotizing Pancreatitis.

Gastroenterol Clin North Am

March 2025

Department of Gastroenterology, Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, AIG Hospitals, Hyderabad, India. Electronic address:

The endoscopic step-up approach in the management of necrotizing pancreatitis involves sequential steps of intervention at different time points in the clinical course of the disease. EUS -guided drainage of walled-off necrosis is the first step of the endoscopic step-up approach. Lumen-apposing metal stents are preferred over plastic stents for safe and effective drainage because of their wide caliber.

Identifying predictive markers for survival in malignant biliary obstruction following percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage.

Clin Radiol

December 2024

University Hospital Southampton, Southampton General Hospital, Tremona Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO16 6YD, UK. Electronic address:

Aim: Malignant biliary obstructive disease is commonly managed with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). Traditionally, outcomes are evaluated collectively despite substantial variability in the underlying aetiology and extent of disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether variability in survival could be explained by different underlying patient and disease factors.

Exploratory laparotomies for blunt or penetrating trauma often result in significant morbidity. Despite advancements in resuscitation, surgical techniques, and antibiotics, intra-abdominal abscesses remain a serious complication, contributing to poor outcomes and extended hospital stays. Percutaneous computed tomography-guided drainage is the standard treatment for abscesses, offering high success rates and low morbidity.

Background: Malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) is characterized by the presence of malignant tumors infiltrating or compressing the bile duct, causing poor bile drainage, generalized yellowing, pain, itching, and malaise. MOJ is burdensome for both the society and the families of affected patients and should be taken seriously.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical effect of stent placement during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for relieving MOJ and the efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage in terms of liver function improvement, complication rates, and long-term patient outcomes.
