Abstract

Abstract : Vellalta et al demonstrate how severe necrotizing pancreatitis complicated with extensive infected necrosis is successfully treated with transgastric laparoscopic necrosectomy. Furthermore, through the use of three intragastric trocars, the contributed approach provides excellent access and improved vision of the necrosis cavity, avoiding the need for wide anterior gastrotomy.
