EUS Guided Drainage of Post Pancreatitis Pancreatic Fluid Collection
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
The number as well as the caliber of plastic stents used for EUS-guided PFC drainage are controversial in current practice \[Lin et al., 2014\]. The timing of necrosectomy in WOPN drainage continues to be debated. To date, no comparative studies have been conducted to investigate the ideal timing for stent removal. Thus, the aim of our study is to: * Assess the technical success rates, clinical success rates and potential complications of the different techniques for the best drainage of PFCs as regard type, caliber and number of plastic stents and ideal timing for stent removal. * Compare between early vs late intervention for complete endoscopic necrosectomy of WOPN as regard technical success rates, clinical success rates, potential complications and number of sessions needed.

Endoscopic ultrasound guided cystogastrostomy of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst
The technical success rates, clinical success rates, and potential complications of the different endoscopic ultrasound-guided techniques for the best drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) as regard type, caliber, and number of plastic stents and the ideal timing for stent removal will be assessed. Also compare early vs. late intervention for complete endoscopic necrosectomy of walled off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN ) as regard to technical success rates, clinical success rates, potential complications, and the number of sessions needed will be done. In order to evaluate total resolution or a reduction in cyst diameters with clinically significant improvement in symptoms, patients will be monitored for one month and six months following the insertion of the stent.
