Local endoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy vs international endoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy: A real life quality control study

Aims Endoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (EPN) is the standard of care for symptomatic walled off necrosis. EPN is a complex procedure consisting of an EUS guided necrosis pancreatic drainage, usually using luminal apposing metal stents (LAMS), and its extraction to the digestive tract. EPN performance has been published from high volume tertiary centers, but little is known about its practice in low volume or non-tertiary centers.
