Endoscopic or surgical step-up approach for infected necrotising pancreatitis : A multicentre randomised trial

TL;DR: In patients with infected necrotising pancreatitis, the endoscopic step-up approach was not superior to the surgical step- up approach in reducing major complications or death, and the rate of pancreatic fistulas and length of hospital stay were lower in the endoscopy group.

TL;DR: In the absence of accepted definitions for acute pancreatitis and its complications, it has not been possible to devise a clinical classification system useful for case management as discussed by the authors, which is why a group of 40 international authorities from six medical disciplines and 15 countries participated in a three-day meeting and open discussion.
