Introduction of new technique of single-port transgastric access for repeated debridement of infected pancreatic necrosis

Pol Przegl Chir. 2013 Apr;85(4):228-33. doi: 10.2478/pjs-2013-0036.

Abstract

In this article we introduce a novel technique of repeated single-port transgastric debritment of walledoff pancreatic necrosis using TriPort™ Access System. The presented technique seems an appealing and innovative approach to the treatment of walled-off pancreatic necrosis in acute pancreatitis patients. Studies proving feasibility, safety and efficiency are necessary to elucidate real value of the technique.
