the commonest minimal access technique, though endo­scopic approaches have become first line in many insti­tutions as part of a step- up approach strategy. Most data published in the form of comparative studies and trials
compare open surgery with minimally invasive strate­gies. Hence why the largest cohort study of MARPN remains of 274 patients published from the pancreatic unit in Liverpool in 2016[11]. They describe a procedure­specific complication rate of 20.4% with a conversion rate to open necrosectomy of 13.1% due to technical dif­ficulties in maintaining a tract, bleeding during the pro­cedure, and inaccessible collections.
One of the most important complications is that of bleeding during or after the procedure; the incidence of this is 11–21% [8,10,11]. Primary bleeding during the procedure is from contact with granulating tissue or avulsion of a vessel, with the rare possibility of injury to the splenic artery. If cessation of the procedure and irri­gation fails to stem the bleeding then the cavity requires closing by a pack, suture, or drain clamp in order to facil­itate tamponade. Secondary bleeding can occur at any time in the postoperative period from an erosion into a vessel or a pseudoaneurysm rupture. If clamping the drain does not prevent cardiovascular instability then an urgent CT angiography investigation needs to be per­formed with a view to a mesenteric angiogram and embolization of a bleeding vessel.
Subsequent procedures may prove difficult and a period of conservative management is advocated to ensure there is no further bleeding.
Fistulation to the GI tract has been reported but the incidence remains very low. Approximately 1% can occur from erosion of necrosis into the lumen of the bowel or the development of focal ischemia as tributaries of mes­enteric vessels become occluded[12]. It may also become apparent from the medial border of the duodenum as necrosectomy of the head of the pancreas reveals thedefect. Management of this is on a case by case basis and may require cessation of intervention, keeping the patient starved and commencing total parenteral nutri­tion. Fistulation from the pancreas duct occurs in 5–28% of patients from the remnant healthy pancreas and is managed conservatively providing flow proximally is not obstructed[8,11]. An endoscopic retrograde cholangio­pancreatography (ERCP) and pancreatic duct stent may treat an established fistula.
Compared to open surgery, MARPN has significantly lower complications (35.4% vs. 51.7%), less incidence of multiorgan failure (12–20% vs. 35–40%) but mortality rates remain similar (23.1% vs. 22.9%), respec­tively[8,11,13,14]. The difficulty in comparing techniques in the management of necrotizing pancreatitis is that the development of novel drainage strategies has provided multiple options. In previous cohort studies, it has been reported that the use of MARPN is not suitable in 30% of cases in some studies and one quarter of all patients will require additional percutaneous drains[8,11]. This implies that as good as MARPN is as a technique, there will be areas of walled-
off necrosis that may not be accessible.

Thus is the nature of necrotizing pancreatitis and why the development of different drainage techniques has improved management.
Single Port Pancreatic Necrosectomy
There has been a single report published reviewing the use of a single port for necrosectomy in seven patients[15]. It is important to state that this technique is used for extrapancreatic walled- off collections, predominantly those that are accessible using a three- channel SILS port. A percutaneous drain is inserted radiologically into the collection under local anesthetic and then the patient is given a general anesthetic where a 3 cm cut- down incision is made over the drain site to afford the SILS port. A zero­degree nephroscope is then inserted through one channel and an articulating grasper through the other, with a 0.9% saline irrigation channel. A necrosectomy is performed under direct vision and an irrigation nasogastric tube is then placed for further lavage and drainage. The case series is small, a morbidity rate is not possible to accu­rately calculate and the post- procedural median length of stay was 47days[15]. Though this is a technically feasible technique, it is for a specific, difficult to access, area of necrosis of critically unwell patients. It should become part of an array of minimal access techniques for patients with complex necrotizing pancreatitis.
Laparoscopic Approaches toPancreatic Necrosectomy
Many small volume case series have been reported over the past couple of decades but the technique remains low in popularity and there are no large volume studies pub­lished[16]. The peritoneal approach has been commonly reported and the pancreatic cavity is approached from either the mesocolon or through the greater omentum into the lesser sac. It is also possible to enter transgastri­cally once the collection/necrosis is walled- off and ready to drain through a cystgastrostomy[17]. The major ben­efit is that only single operation is needed for necrosec­tomy, though it has been reported that 20% of patients require a further procedure[16]. Other reported benefits include a morbidity rate of 21% and the simultaneous ability to perform a cholecystectomy [16,18]. The only comparative study between laparoscopic and open tech­niques of necrosectomy was published in 2012, which stated that there was a lower complication rate, less blood loss, and a shorter length of stay[19]. The operation dura­tion was longer, which leads to specific respiratory complications from prolonged abdominal insufflation. There is a further risk of introducing a contained
collection into a previously sterile peritoneal compart­ment. Many units prefer to approach necrosectomy through the retroperitoneum. There has been a retrop­eritoneal laparoscopic approach described where two ports are placed into the necrotic cavity over percutane­ous drains. This allows insufflation of carbon dioxide and necrosectomy can be performed using laparoscopic instruments and clips and diathermy can be used to con­trol bleeding[20]. The major advantage of this technique is that it requires only two procedures, compared to other retroperitoneal techniques, with a lower median time to discharge of 44days. There remains a complication rate of 38% and the series was of only 13 patients [20]. The retroperitoneal is still an important aspect of pancreatic necrosectomy, though the MARPN technique remains the most commonly used minimally invasive strategy.
Modern Management ofNecrotizing Pancreatitis
In 2016 a Cochrane review was published comparing interventions in necrotizing pancreatitis and summa­rized that there was low to very low quality evidence to compare minimally invasive step approaches to open necrosectomy [21]. This highlights the difficulties in comparing techniques and establishing the role of MARPN with a solid evidence base. More recent studies have established that minimally invasive step- up approaches have significantly fewer deaths than open surgery (2% vs. 10%), respectively and a risk ratio of
0.7 [22]. Two randomized control trials have been reported from the Dutch Pancreatitis Group. The Panter trial, which compared open necrosectomy with a mini­mally invasive step- up approach and found the latter to be superior in terms of mortality, postoperative compli­cations, and pancreatitis insufficiency [23]. Van Brunschot etal. published a randomized trial reviewing surgical step- up and endoscopic step- up approaches and determined that there was no difference in mortality or major complications. The only differences reported was a short length of stay and few pancreatic fistulae in the endoscopic step- up group. It was concluded that there should be a shift toward endoscopic approaches[10].
As the evidence bases slowly improves, the primary use of open necrosectomy becomes less recommended and minimally invasive strategies have become first line. The advent of endoscopic therapies has further shifted man­agement from surgically minimally invasive techniques, especially MARPN. Given these advances a modern pan­creas unit should be able to provide multiple strategies and afford a multidisciplinary decision- making process, where patient factors, collection distribution and timing can be discussed in order to tailor personalized management.

Introduction
Open surgical debridement, once considered as the first­line treatment for necrotizing pancreatitis, is now reserved as the final step in contemporary treatment algorithms with the “step- up” approach and is needed in fewer than 20% of cases[1]. However, an open approach may have advantages over minimally invasive debride­ment techniques in the following conditions: (i) infeasi­ble for minimally invasive approaches, due to solid material constituting majority of the necrosis, or unfa­vorable anatomic location of the necrosis; (ii) complica­tions including abdominal compartment syndrome, enteric fistula, ileus, and massive intra- abdominal hem­orrhage; (iii) additional surgical procedures are needed (e.g., cholecystectomy for biliary etiology); (iv) efficient removal of necrotic tissue and rapid control of systemic infection are warranted, particularly in critically ill patients with severe sepsis. In selected cases, a “step­jump” open surgery first approach, by skipping the prec­edent treatments in the “step- up” approach including percutaneous catheter drainage and minimally invasive debridement, may be beneficial[2].
Historically, open surgical debridement with large incision and extensive necrosectomy resulted in a high incidence of complications and mortality after sur­gery[3,4]. A better understanding of the natural course of disease, advances in medical treatment especially in critical care, incorporating a “step- up” strategy, and accumulation of expertise in high- volume centers sig­nificantly improved clinical outcomes after open surgical debridement for necrotizing pancreatitis [5–11]. Improvement of surgical techniques also played an important role in continuous optimization of patients’ prognosis in this clinical setting. Traditional open
surgical procedures for necrotizing pancreatitis included debridement and continuous closed lavage[12], debride­ment and open packing/staged laparotomy[13], debride­ment and closed packing[14]. Nowadays, the tendency of minimalization in open surgery for necrotizing pan­creatitis is remarkable, and reported techniques included open transgastric necrosectomy[5,8] and small incision retroperitoneal debridement[15].
Late complications in necrotizing pancreatitis are com­mon and have a significant impact on patients’ long- term wellness (Table31.1). In a recent report involving 578 con­secutive cases of necrotizing pancreatitis with a median follow- up time of 46 months, 85% of the patients devel­oped 1 long- term complication, and 59% of them required invasive interventional treatment[16]. In an ear­lier cohort of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis after surgical debridement with a median follow- up time of
28.9 months, 62% of the patients developed a long- term complication and 26% of them required intervention[17].
The following paragraphs will focus on individual long- term complications closely related to the procedure of open debridement.
Pancreatocutaneous Fistula
Pancreatic leakage develops in necrotizing pancreatitis when the main pancreatic duct or its branches are destructed and subsequent pancreatic juice extravasates to the peripancreatic space. Any transcutaneous inter­ventions including open surgery with postoperative drainage may cause pancreatocutaneous fistula [18]. Another form of pancreatic fistula in necrotizing pan­creatitis is internal fistula, which is less associated with necrosectomy, thus is not discussed in this chapter.

necrotizing pancreatitis was 8−73% from different stud­ies[6,7,9–11,15,19–26]. Transgastric necrosectomy has the innate advantage of minimizing risk of external fis­tula by creating durable internal drainage for potential gland leaks, and the reported pancreatic fistula rate after open transgastric necrosectomy was 2.0−4.7% [5,8]. When postoperative pancreatic fistula persists, underly­ing anatomical deformity of the pancreatic duct second­ary to parenchymal necrosis should be suspected. When duct stricture or disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) presented, persistent pancreatic fistula after pancreatic debridement increased from 27% in cases with normal duct to 54% and 85%, respectively [27]. Disconnected left pancreatic remnant on preoperative CT scan was also found to be a risk factor for the devel­opment of pancreatic fistula after necrosectomy[7].
Around two- thirds of the post- necrosectomy pancre­atic fistula will close spontaneously after noninterven­tional treatments at around 4months after surgery[18,28]. Conservative treatments included optimized drainage, somatostatin analogues, antibiotics, and nutritional sup­port. If the fistula is refractory to medical treatment, the choice between different interventional modalities cur­rently lacks strong evidence support. Endoscopic trans­papillary duct drainage [29], surgical interventions including fistulojejunostomy, pancreaticojejunostomy, and left pancreatectomy[30] are among the physician’s arsenal and were reported with a satisfactory safety and efficacy profile. Changes in ductal morphology may pro­vide helpful information in clinical decision- making to choose the appropriate treatment[31]. Simultaneous left pancreatectomy resection with the index debridement for cases with DPDS were also recommended[7].
Hemorrhage
Hemorrhage is one of the most fatal complications and contributes to a substantial mortality rate in necrotizing pancreatitis. Late hemorrhage in necrotizing pancreati­tis is related to the presence of residual peripancreatic or pancreatic necrosis, long- standing pseudocyst, and gas­trointestinal varicosis following thrombosis and obstruc­tion of the portosplenomesenteric vein. Too aggressive or expectant timing for debridement and traumatic manipulation during necrosectomy may also increase the risk of postoperative bleeding. The common sites of hemorrhage in necrotizing pancreatitis include splenic artery, gastroduodenal or pancreaticoduodenal artery, portal vein, spleen, and unspecified peripancreatic ves­sels[32,33]. Isolated vessels or even vascular stumps in the necrotic cavity are frequently found during necrosec­tomy; proper ligation or transfixation of the vessel or its

stump is required, and surgical debridement holds tech­nical advantages in this respect (Fig.31.1).
Various studies have reported a rate of postoperative hemorrhage of 2.7−10.1% after open pancreatic necro­sectomy[6–10,15,19–21,23–26,34–36]. In the extended observational study of a randomized controlled trial, two more patients (5%) had intra- abdominal bleeding requiring intervention during the long- term follow- up period, making an overall hemorrhage rate of 27% in the open surgery arm[34]. As regards a different but closely related disease entity, the visceral artery pseudoaneu­rysm was reported to be 4.3% in all patients with necrotizing pancreatitis with a median incidence timing of 63.5days after disease onset and 21% of the patients were diagnosed based on incidental CT findings [37]. Age >50 years, presence of any organ failure, and previous endoscopic transluminal necrosectomy with lumen- opposing metal stent were reported to be risk factors for visceral pseudoaneurysm in necrotizing pancreatitis[37,38].
Recognition of early signs of hemorrhage and/or pseu­doaneurysm is critical for prompt intervention and suc­cessful treatment; these include blood in drainage, acute onset of abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, and early presentations of hemorrhagic shock. Visceral angi­ography is considered as the first step in management of bleeding after necrosectomy if the patient is hemody­namically stable, which could provide detailed informa­tion on bleeding sites. And further intravascular embolization with a coil or covered stent would provide definite treatment or a bridging measure for sur­gery[33,37]. Emergent open laparotomy for hemostasis is a lifesaving procedure for patients with catastrophic intra- abdominal bleeding or failed percutaneous vascu­lar embolization, and has the advantage of eliminating underlying causes of bleeding including residual infected necrosis and direct compression from the drainage tube,

and so on. Extensive blood oozing into the necrotic cav­ity represents another challenging scenario, in which gauze packing may be the only choice of treatment. Postoperative hemorrhage would have a profoundly det­rimental impact on a patient’s outcome with a mortality rate of 34.1%[32].
Enteric Fistula
Multiple factors were involved in the pathogenesis of enteric fistula in necrotizing pancreatitis, which include organ ischemia secondary to vascular thrombosis due to enzyme- rich and inflammatory exudates involvement, colonic ischemia in hypoperfusion status in splanchnic blood supply, direct autodigestion from extravasated pancreatic juice, and iatrogenic causes during interven­tions[28]. Enteric fistula was reported with an incidence rate of 6−23.6% after surgical debridement from various studies [7,9,10,15,19–23,25]. The incidence of enteric fistula in necrotizing pancreatitis was associated with organ failure, presence of extensive necrosis, and opera­tive intervention[16,39].
Once the diagnosis of enteric fistula is established, timely interventional management is essential to stabilize the patients. Percutaneous catheter drainage, endoscopic stenting, enterostomy, enteric resection, enteric fixation, or proximal diversion of the gastrointestinal tract is indi­cated for different clinical settings. Although surgery is still the mainstay treatment for enteric fistula, nonsurgi­cal interventions have been increasingly applied in recent years. In one report focused on colonic fistula after necrosectomy for infected pancreatic necrosis, 34.8% of the cases with colonic fistula closed spontaneously[40]. Once colonic ischemia is suspected during surgical debridement, it is recommended that a prophylactic loop ileostomy be constructed [20]. Necrotizing pancreatitis complicated with gastrointestinal fistula represents a treatment challenge, as studies have found out that the disease course is significantly prolonged, and mortality is substantially high in this group of patients[16,40].
Incisional Hernia
Risk factors for the development of incisional hernia includ­ing wound infection, repeated laparotomies, obesity, diabe­tes mellitus, malnutrition are commonly seen in patients after open debridement. Various incidence rates of inci­sional hernia after traditional transperitoneal surgical debridement were reported with a wide range of 9.1% to 91% [22,25,34–36,41,42]. Patients with incisional hernia increased from 24% to 53% if the follow- up time was extended from 6months to an average of over 7 years after
open necrosectomy[19,34]. In a retrospective study specifi­cally focused on long- term hernia development after lapa­rotomy for necrotizing pancreatitis, elder age was found to be the only risk factor for hernia development[43].
Hernias are more common when marsupialization of thelesser sac is used as a controlled laparostomy[44,45]. Transverse incision resulted in less incisional hernia when compared with midline incision[46,47]. However, a retro­spective case- control study in necrotizing pancreatitis did not find a difference in hernia development between vari­ous types of incision[43]. Minimalization of the incision in open necrosectomy may help to avoid the risk of incisional hernia[15]. In the authors’ institution, we now use uni- / bilateral flank incision (retroperitoneal) and/or mini trans­verse incision (transperitoneal) instead of a midline inci­sion for open debridement. The choice of incision is flexible and depends on the location and extension of necrosis (Fig.31.2). A minimally invasive “step- up” approach could significantly reduce the chance of hernia development by avoiding laparotomy in some patients[19,34].
Incisional hernia is a condition that frequently requires surgical reintervention and 52−86.5% of the patients whodeveloped incisional hernia subsequently received hernia repair[16,22,41,43].
New- Onset Endocrine Insufficiency
Acute necrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma, extensive debridement, and subsequent chronic inflammation after acute onset will cause permanent loss of functional unit both in the endocrine and exocrine compartment of the pancreata. Pancreatic functional loss in necrotizing pancreatitis seems to be progressive and irreversible in long- term follow- up[16,34].
Endocrine insufficiency after open necrosectomy was reported with an incidence rate of 9.1−61.9% after various follow- up times [6,10,15,22,34,35,41,42,48,49]. Endocrine insufficiency occurs early in necrotizing pan­creatitis, as serum glucose greater than 200 included in Ranson’s score. Worth noting, over one- third of euglycemic patients at the time of acute attack resolu­tion further developed endocrine insufficiency, after follow- up time was extended from 6months to 86months in the PANTER trial[19,34]. And this finding was sup­ported by other observations[16,41].
Studies have suggested that functional loss of the pan­creas was more dependent on the severity of the attack rather than on the action of debridement [16,50]. Development of organ failure, infection other than ster­ile necrosis, higher computed tomography (CT) severity index, and more extensive necrosis during acute onset of necrotizing pancreatitis were associated with the devel­opment of endocrine insufficiency afterward[16,41,48].

New- Onset Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI)
The incidence of PEI after open debridement for necrotiz­ing pancreatitis varied from 9.5% to 57.1%[10,22,34,41,48], and the percentage of patients who relied on enzyme sup­plementation was reported to be 10−80.9%[6,15,19,34,35, 41,48,49]. Different diagnostic criteria will lead to differ­ent estimations of the burden of exocrine insufficiency. One study used fecal elastase- 1 <200 μg/g and found the incidence rate of long- term PEI after open necrosectomy to be 56% [34], while exocrine insufficiency was diag­nosed in 25–57.1% of patients when fecal fat excretion >7 g/24 h was used[41,48].
Direct open debridement was reported to increase the risk of long­with the minimally invasive step- up approach both in functional test and supplementary enzyme depend­ence[34]. The extent and infection status of the necrosis, and no or incomplete visualization of the main pancre­atic duct are associated with the incidence of exocrine insufficiency[41,48]. In another study, renal failure and
term exocrine insufficiency when compared
cardiovascular failure during the acute phase were found to be independent risk factors for long-
term PEI devel-
opment in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis[16].
Summary
Late complications are common in patients with necrotiz­ing pancreatitis and after open surgical debridement. Long- term follow- up in these patients is essential and warranted to identify potential complications and initiate treatment promptly. In a contemporary treatment algo­rithm, the role of open surgery for necrotizing pancreati­tis has fundamentally changed but remains indispensably important, as it seems to be decisive for the fate in a sub­set of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis, not only as a bail-
out procedure after failed minimally invasive inter­ventions but maybe also as a first choice in selected patients. In future, novel treatment strategy and surgical techniques for necrotizing pancreatitis should be tested in well- designed clinical trials focusing on both short­term outcomes and long- term morbidities.
