Abstract

Single Port Retroperitoneal Pancreatic Necrosectomy (SPRPN), a novel method to debride extra-pancreatic necrosis after failed conventional treatment, was undertaken in 7 patients with a median collection diameter of 98 x 85 x 124mm, with resolution at a median of 42 days and post-operative median stay of 47 days.
