“…Park et al [ 24 ] reported that EUS guided and conventional drainage procedures had statistically similar complication rates (7% versus 10%). We eagerly await the results of the ongoing Cochrane review currently underway [ 38 ] designed to analyze the effectiveness of intramural endoscopic drainage with and without EUS.…”

Although surgical drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts has been superseded by less invasive options, the requirement for specialized equipment, technical expertise, and consumables limits the options available in low resource settings. We describe the challenges experienced during endoscopic transmural drainage in a low resource setting and the methods used to overcome these barriers. Despite operating in a low resource environment, endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts can be incorporated into our armamentarium with minimal change to the existing hardware. Careful patient selection by a dedicated multidisciplinary team should be observed in order to achieve good outcomes.
