Pancreatic necrosectomy using an automated mechanical endoscopic tissue extraction device
A 66-year-old man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and prior cholecystectomy presented to an outside hospital with symptoms of intractable abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. He received a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and was treated conservatively and eventually discharged. He continued to have persistent symptoms and was admitted again. An abdominal CT scan revealed a pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) with evidence of solid debris. The patient was transferred to our facility for further evaluation and treatment.
