Aims Stent-assisted percutaneous endoscopic necrosectomy is recognized as a main treatment for the WON.
Methods A 37-year-old man presented with peripancreatic necrosis. CT scan demonstrated a huge WON involving the pancreatic body, peripancreatic space, extending to the left pericolic space. A full covered self-expanding metal stent (20mm x 12cm) was placed across the abdominal wall. Necrosectomy using upper endoscope via the FCSEMS was performed. Basket, snare and alligator forcep were applied for necrosectomy.
Results The conventional upper endoscope was smoothly inserted into the sinus tract for necrosectomy.
Conclusions Endoscopic necrosectomy via FCSEMS is a useful and safe modality in WON.
