A MODIFIED APPROACH FOR EUS-GUIDED MANAGEMENT OF DISCONNECTED PANCREATIC DUCT SYNDROME

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a modified approach for EOS-guided management of Disconnected Pancreatic Duct Syndrome. The syndrome refers to disruption of the main pancreatic duct, leading to leakage of pancreatic secretions and complications. Two cases are presented where a fluid collection was used to facilitate EOS-guided ductal drainage. In both cases, puncturing the pancreatic duct upstream of the disruption was attempted, but a transgastric approach was ultimately chosen due to technical challenges. The procedures were successful, with no reported adverse events, and both patients showed clinical improvement and resolution of the collections. The video emphasizes the importance of endoscopic-guided drainage to prevent recurrence, especially when a communicating fluid collection is present.
