Abstract
Reports of pancreatic pseudocyst drainage during metabolic bariatric surgery are extremely rare. Our patient is a 38-year-old female suffering from obesity grade IV and presents a persistent symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst 8 months after an episode of acute biliary pancreatitis. After an extensive evaluation and considering other treatment options, our multidisciplinary team and the patient decided to perform a one-stage procedure consisting of laparoscopic cystogastrostomy, cholecystectomy, and one-anastomosis gastric bypass. After bringing the patient to the operating room, the surgeon performed an anterior gastrostomy to access the stomach's posterior wall, followed by a 6-cm cystogastrostomy on both the stomach's posterior wall and the cyst. Next, a cholecystectomy which involved dissecting the triangle of Calot was performed. Then, an 18-cm gastric pouch using a 36-Fr calibration tube was created. The cystogastrostomy was left in the remaining stomach. Finally, gastrojejunal anastomosis is done. The patient's postoperative course proceeded smoothly, leading to her home discharge on the third postoperative day. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient had lost 56 kg and was symptom-free; a computer tomography scan showed that the pancreatic pseudocyst had resolved. This case shows a video of a successful laparoscopic cystogastrostomy, cholecystectomy, and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) used to treat persistent abdominal pain and obesity grade IV. We also conduct a bibliographic review.

Abstract
The concept of endoscopic lumen apposition has seen a dramatic shift in the last several decades. Early natural orifice trans-luminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) concepts have transformed into specialized lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) and delivery devices, which provide endoscopists a minimally invasive alternative to surgical intervention. These LAMSs have become the bedrock of therapeutic endoscopy and provide treatment for a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders. In this review, we summarize the changing landscape of therapeutic endoscopy by highlighting the use of LAMS and future directions as well as alternative devices to achieve lumen apposition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comparative data on percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) vs EUS-guided drainage (EUS-D) for management of symptomatic walled-off-necrosis (WON), specially infected WON with/without organ failure(OF) is limited. METHODS Patients with symptomatic WON were divided into two groups of PCD and EUS-D, depending on the modality of drainage. Resolution of OF, adverse events, and other outcome measures were recorded. The two modalities were compared among infected WON sub-cohort and also degree of solid component (SC). RESULTS 218 patients (175 males; 80.3%) were included who underwent either PCD (n = 102) or EUS-D (n = 116). Clinical success was significantly higher in the EUS-D group (92.1% vs 64.6%; p < 0.0001) and even for infected WON (n = 128) (p = 0.004), with higher (p = 0.007) and faster (p < 0.0001) OF resolution. Other outcome measures including mortality were significantly higher in the PCD group. Among subgroups, PCD with >40% SC had the worst clinical success/OF resolution rates, while EUS-D with <40% SC had the best outcomes. CONCLUSION EUS-D should be preferred over PCD in the management of WON, infected or otherwise, for higher clinical success, and higher/faster resolution of OF. PCD should be avoided in WON with>40% SC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde pancreatic drainage (ERPD) and stent implantation has become the major treatment method for pancreatic pseudocysts. However, it is associated with a high recurrence rate and infection.
AIM To manage pancreatic pseudocysts by sequential therapy with endoscopic naso-pancreatic drainage (ENPD) combined with ERPD and evaluate the treatment outcome.
METHODS One hundred and sixty-two cases of pancreatic pseudocyst confirmed by endoscopic examination at our hospital between January 2014 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 152 cases of intubation via the duodenal papilla, of which 92 involved pancreatic duct stent implantation and 60 involved sequential therapy with combined ENPD and ERPD (two-step procedure). The success rate of the procedure, incidence of complications (infection, bleeding, etc.), recurrence, and length and cost of hospitalization were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS The incidence of infection was significantly higher in the ERPD group (12 cases) than in the two-step procedure group (2 cases). Twelve patients developed infection in the ERPD group, and anti-infection therapy was effective in five cases but not in the remaining seven cases. Infection presented as fever and chills in the two-step procedure group. The reoperation rate was significantly higher in the ERPD group with seven cases compared with zero cases in the two-step procedure group (P < 0.05). Similarly, the recurrence rate was significantly higher in the ERPD group (19 cases) than in the two-step procedure group (0 cases).
CONCLUSION Sequential therapy with combined ENPD and ERPD is safe and effective in patients with pancreatic pseudocysts.

Abstract
A 36-year-old female presented with recurrent attacks of alcohol-related acute on chronic pancreatitis complicated by a pancreatic pseudocyst in the head of the pancreas. The cyst was causing obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD) and pancreatic duct (PD) on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). She underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided aspiration of the cyst to dryness. A few months later, she presented with epigastric pain and jaundice. MRI pancreas and MRCP revealed a pancreatic cyst in the head of the pancreas, which had grown in size, compressing the CBD and PD with extra and intrahepatic biliary dilatation. There was a recurrence of a new lobulated peripancreatic pseudocyst, which had ruptured resulting in a large collection compressing the right renal capsule. Percutaneous drainage of the ruptured pseudocyst was performed, followed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) that revealed distal CBD stricture, which was stented. Her symptoms improved and she was discharged with no further recurrences of obstructive jaundice during the one-year follow-up period.

Abstract
Pancreatic fluid collections (PFC), including pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off pancreatic necrosis, are a known complication of severe acute pancreatitis. A majority of the PFCs remain asymptomatic and resolve spontaneously. However, some PFCs persist and can become symptomatic. Persistent PFCs can also cause further complications such as the gastric outlet, intestinal, or biliary obstruction and infection. Surgical interventions are indicated for the drainage of symptomatic sterile and infected PFCs. Management of PFCs has evolved from a primarily surgical or percutaneous approach to a less invasive endoscopic approach. Endoscopic interventions are associated with improved outcomes with lesser chances of complications, faster recovery time, and lower healthcare utilization. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of PFCs using lumen-apposing metal stents has become the preferred approach for the management of symptomatic and complicated PFCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) are increasingly used for direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) in the management of walled-off necrosis (WON). We compared LAMS and traditional cystoenterostomy in the management of WON. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent DEN for management of WON was performed. Primary outcome was rate of WON resolution. Secondary outcomes included technical and clinical success, time and number of procedures until resolution, requirement for alternative therapy, recurrence, and adverse events. RESULTS One hundred twelve patients underwent DEN with LAMS (n = 34) or traditional cystoenterostomy (n = 78). Mean WON size was 90.2 × 60.1 mm, and 61.8% had infected necrosis. Overall WON resolution was similar between LAMS and traditional cystoenterostomy (94.1% vs 92.1%, P = 0.510), with similar number of procedures until resolution (1.5 vs 1.5, P = 0.871). The LAMSs were associated with faster resolution (86.9 vs 133.6 days, P = 0.038), lower recurrence (6.3% vs 23.1%, P = 0.032), and decreased requirement for surgery (0% vs 12.8%, P = 0.031) compared with traditional cystoenterostomy, but higher adverse event rates (41.2% vs 7.7%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Despite higher adverse event rates, initial LAMS cystoenterostomy for management of WON results in faster resolution, lower recurrence, and decreased requirement for surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided drainage is the preferred approach for infected or symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). Here, we developed an algorithm for the management of pancreatitis complicated by PFCs and report on its effcacy and safety. METHODS Between September 2011 and October 2017, patients were prospectively managed according to the algorithm. PFCs were classified as poorly organized fluid collections (POFCs), pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs), or walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN). Clinical success was defined as a decrease in PFC size by ≥50% of the maximal diameter or to ≤2 cm. RESULTS A total of 108 patients (62% male; mean age, 53 years) were included: 13 had POFCs, 43 had PPs, and 52 had WOPN. Seventytwo patients (66%) required a pancreatic duct (PD) stent, whereas 65 (60%) received enteral feeding. A total of 103 (95%) patients achieved clinical success. Eight patients experienced complications including bleeding (n=6) and surgical intervention (n=2). Patients with enteral feeding were 3.4 times more likely to achieve resolution within 60 days (p=0.0421), whereas those with PD stenting was five times more likely to achieve resolution within 90 days (p=0.0069). CONCLUSION A high PFC resolution rate can be achieved when a dedicated algorithm encompassing EUS-guided drainage, PD stenting, and early enteral feeding is adopted.

Abstract
The role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has transitioned from a diagnostic to a therapeutic one over the past 40 years. With the advent of curvilinear array echoendoscopes in the 1990s with an accessory channel, multiple tools and devices have been developed and used for a variety of transluminal interventions. EUS provides a viable option and is becoming the procedure of choice for many interventions, including bile and pancreatic duct drainage, guiding angiotherapy, pancreatic fluid collection management, gallbladder drainage, and creating a gastrojejunostomy. Although reports demonstrate the technical success of these interventions, there is tremendous study heterogeneity and a relative lack of controlled randomized trials, which may limit our understanding of their role and utility. Furthermore, adverse events are relatively common and occasionally severe. Despite the limitations, available data strongly indicate the efficacy of EUS interventions when performed by well-trained endosonographers in carefully selected patients and managed in a multidisciplinary setting.

Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs) present a challenging problem for physicians dealing with pancreatic disorders. Their management demands the co-operation of surgeons, radiologists and gastroenterologists. Historically, they have been treated either conservatively or surgically, with acceptable rates of complications and recurrence. However, recent advances in radiology and endoscopy, have leaded physicians to implement percutaneous and endoscopic drainage (ED) into their treatment algorithms. Moreover, laparoscopic surgery, with its advantages, has become an attractive alternative choice when surgical drainage (SD) is required. The aim of this review is to summarize the main diagnostic and therapeutic tools in the management of pseudocysts and to present the main studies that compare the three different types of pseudocyst drainage.

Abstract
The last decade has seen dramatic shift in paradigm in the management of pancreatic fluid collections with the rise of endoscopic therapy over radiologic or surgical management. Endosonographic drainage is now considered the gold standard therapy for pancreatic pseudocyst. Infected pancreatic necroses are being offered endoscopic necrosectomy that has been facilitated by the arrival on the market of large diameter lumen-apposing metal stent. Severe pancreatitis or failure to thrive should receive enteral nutrition while pancreatic ductal disruption or strictures are best treated by pancreatic stenting.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Pancreatic fluid collections are a frequent complication of acute pancreatitis. The revised Atlanta criterion classifies chronic fluid collections into pseudocysts and walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON). Symptomatic PFCs require drainage options that include surgical, percutaneous, or endoscopic approaches. With the advent of newer and more advanced endoscopic tools and expertise, minimally invasive endoscopic drainage has now become the preferred approach. An endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided approach for pancreatic fluid collection drainage is now the preferred endoscopic approach. Both plastic stents and metal stents are efficacious and safe; however, metal stents may offer an advantage, especially in infected pseudocysts and in WON. Direct endoscopic necrosectomy is often required in WON. Lumen apposing metal stents allow for direct endoscopic necrosectomy and debridement through the stent lumen and are now preferred in these patients. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with pancreatic duct exploration should be performed concurrent to PFC drainage in patients with suspected PD disruption. PD disruption is associated with an increased severity of pancreatitis, an increased risk of recurrent attacks of pancreatitis and long-term complications, and a decreased rate of PFC resolution after drainage. Ideally, pancreatic ductal disruption should be bridged with endoscopic stenting.
