چکیده

Endoscopic vacuum-assisted therapy (EVAT) is a reliable treatment for endoscopically accessible abscesses and was recently described in the management of infected pancreatic pseudocyst (IPC) [1– 4]. EVATwhen performed in the region of the celiac trunk und portal venous system has, in theory, a higher risk of bleeding than when performed in other regions of the body. We treated a woman who had sepsis due to an IPC, chronic pancreatitis, and pronounced gastric varices by EVAT, but with a coated sponge. The treatment was generally performed as previously described [4]. After 1 week of endoscopic therapy the cyst was free of necrosis and we started EVAT. We adjusted the size of the sponge according to the local topography and wrapped the Endo-SPONGE (B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany) in one layer of Suprasorb CNP Drainage Film (Lohmann & Rauscher, Vienna, Austria), a double-layered film for vacuum therapy of wounds (●" Fig.1 and ●" Fig.2) [5]. This set is not commercially available. Secretions were continuously evacuated with a suction of 120mm Hg (16kPa). We replaced the coated EndoSPONGE system on the third day and finished EVATon the seventh day. The extraction of the wrapped EndoSPONGE-system was, compared with the extraction of a pure sponge, easier, with less pulling force (●" Fig.3). The transgastric access into the cyst was also smoother and less bloody (●" Fig.4). On the seventh day of EVAT the pseudocyst was resolved. Finally we closed the gastrocystic fistula with metallic clips and one Endoloop (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) (●" Fig.5). No complications occurred during therapy and within 6 months after therapy. The treatment of IPC was completed during a single hospital stay. In our opinion the coated sponge is an improvement in EVAT of infected pancreatic pseudocyst, because it simplifies the extraction of the Endo-SPONGE system and reduces the bleeding risk.

Transrectal ultrasound-guided endoscopic drainage and vacuum therapy of pelvic abscesses: an alternative to (computed tomography-guided) percutaneous drainage.

A 43-year-old, otherwise healthy man had increasing abdominal pain in the lower abdomen without a fever. His leukocyte count was 20.0×109/L (normal range: 4– 9×109/L) and the C-reactive protein level was 155.5mg/L (normal <5mg/L). Abdominal computed tomography (CT) confirmed the suspected diagnosis of diverticulitis and revealed a large pelvic abscess (●" Fig.1). The intended CT-guided drainage...

Endoscopic vacuum therapy in the management of anastomotic insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

A 68-year-old patient with a pT3pN2 duodenal adenocarcinoma underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Because the jejunal loop was anastomosed with a previous gastroenterostomy, endoscopic examination of the pancreatic and biliary anastomoses was easily feasible. On the 5th postoperative day, the patient developed septic shock and multiorgan failure; bilious secretions were noted coming from the abdom...

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Self-Expandable Metal Stent Placement for the Treatment of Infected Pancreatic Pseudocysts

The standard endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) approach of cystogastrostomy involves the use of series of plastic pigtail stents that are placed through the wall of the cyst. The use of a single stent has also been described in the literature. Here we describe five cases of EUS-guided cystogastrostomy with irrigation of infected pancreatic pseudocysts using a single self-expandable metal stent (SEMS)...
