Minimally invasive endoscopic interventions outperform traditional surgery for pancreatic fluid collections

A review highlights a shift toward minimally invasive endoscopic interventions for managing symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections linked to acute pancreatitis. Endoscopic transmural drainage and necrosectomy show comparable effectiveness to traditional surgery but with fewer adverse effects. Early intervention may be warranted in cases of suspected infection and organ dysfunction. Key findings support ongoing evolution and refinement in procedural techniques, aiming for better patient outcomes and effective treatment of complex pancreatic conditions.
