Résumé
Currently, acute pancreatitis associated with pancreatic necrosis (or extra-pancreatic necrosis) presents with poor outcomes, with mortality reaching up to 20%.
1
During the last decade, the management of this dreadful condition has changed through the development of medical resuscitation, computed tomography (CT)-guided or ultrasound (US)-guided drainages.
2
Indeed, open surgical necrosectomy is not anymore a first-line treatment, while the percutaneous catheter drainage
3
and the endoscopic transluminal drainage (with or without necrosectomy)
4
have been demonstrated as safe and effective. Yet, a minimally invasive surgical approach may be required when the noninvasive drainage is inefficient or inaccessible. In this video, we show a reproducible pancreatic necrosectomy using a single port.
