“…Thus, LAMS has been recommended by a multi-institutional consensus made by 22 experts as the standard procedure for WON drainage[ 12 ]. Most experts believe that metal stents with a large caliber should be considered for WON with significant debris (≥ 30 %), while DPPS may already be enough for WON with little debris (≤ 10 %) or pure PPC[ 54 ]. Although a large diameter (d = 15 mm) LAMS has been recommended for drainage in patients with WON[ 12 , 55 ], LAMS with a larger diameter (d = 20 mm) demonstrate comparable clinical outcomes with fewer subsequent endoscopic necrosectomy[ 56 ].…”

“…Since the frequency of endoscopic necrosectomy is affected by the necrotic proportion in INP patients, assessing the necrosis proportion is the first problem. However, there is yet to be a unified assessment protocol[ 54 ]. Based on the current literature, the following drugs, devices, and techniques may help reduce endoscopic debridements.…”

Infected necrotizing pancreatitis (INP) represents a severe condition in patients with acute pancreatitis. Invasive interventions are recommended in symptomatic INP. Growing evidence has suggested interventional strategies of INP evolving from traditional surgery to minimally invasive step-up endoscopic procedures. However, there is still no standardized protocol for endoscopic interventions. Recently, various studies have been published about the endoscopic management of INP. This article reviews published articles and guidelines to present the progress and challenges of endoscopic transluminal drainage and necrosectomy in INP.
