Abstract:
Most patients with acute pancreatitis will develop edematous pancreatitis with a mild course and spontaneous resolution within several days to a few weeks. However, about 20% of patients will develop necrotizing pancreatitis, which carries a high mortality. This case report focuses on a patient with infected necrosis of the pancreas, which is managed with endoscopic transluminal debridement, a safe alternative to open surgery.
