Gallstones are the most common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is one of the sequelae of AP. Endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques for cystogastrostomy have been reported in the literature as treatment options for complicated or symptomatic WOPN. Here, we describe two cases of gallstone-related AP complicated by WOPN treated by robotic-assisted transgastric cystogastrostomy and cholecystectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
