Introduction
The strategy for surgical intervention in patients with pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC) and walled- off necrosis (WON) has dramatically changed in recent decades. In the early 1980s, open drainage and closed lavage were the most common surgical procedures performed for “pancreatic abscess.” A more aggressive approach result­ing in earlier surgical intervention, with more extensive drainage and debridement of associated necrotic tissue has been recommended[1]. However, early intervention including open necrosectomy is associated with poor outcomes and the latest guidelines suggest that surgical intervention should be delayed as long as possible, until at least 4weeks after the onset of the illness[2,3].
Peripancreatic fluid collections are frequently seen in the management of patients with acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is divided into interstitial edematous pancrea­titis and necrotizing pancreatitis[4]. In interstitial edema­tous pancreatitis, fluid collections are usually resorbed spontaneously and clinical symptoms are improved after a week. However, remnant localized fluid collections some­times require intervention in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. The terminology for these remnant localized fluid collections was changed completely in 2012, by the revised Atlanta classification [4]. This chapter will focus on surgical strategies for the treatment of patients with PPC and WON after episodes of acute pancreatitis.
Definition ofPancreatic Pseudocyst andWalled- Off Necrosis
In the Atlanta classification, advocated at the International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis in Atlanta in 1992, acute fluid collections and pancreatic
necrosis/infected necrosis were defined as local compli­cations in the early stage of acute pancreatitis [5]. Additionally, PPC and pancreatic abscess are also defined as local complications in the late stage. The term “pan­creatic pseudocyst” had been used to describe a wide spectrum of fluid collections derived from necrotizing pancreatitis, interstitial edematous pancreatitis, and acute exacerbations of chronic pancreatitis. Capsulized liquefied necrotic pancreatic and/or peripancreatic tis­sue after necrotizing pancreatitis should be considered to be different from a capsulized collection of pure pan­creatic exocrine secretions. If the same treatment had been performed, the outcome would be different [6,7]. In fact, pancreatic abscess was seldom encountered in either Western countries or East Asia. Based on this background, the concept of “walled- off pancreatic necro­sis” was proposed for an encapsulated fluid collection derived from necrotic pancreatic and/or peripancreatic tissue in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis [8]. The term was changed to “walled- off necrosis” (WON), and the concept of this condition was then established by the revised Atlanta classification in 2012 [4] (Fig. 34.1). WON is defined as a mature, encapsulated collection of pancreatic and/or peripancreatic necrosis that has devel­oped a well- defined inflammatory wall and usually occurs more than 4weeks after the onset of necrotizing pancreatitis[4]. Fluid collections originating from necro­sis less than 4weeks after the onset of necrotizing pan­creatitis is referred to as an acute necrotic collection (ANC). The concept of a pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC) was proposed to be limited to an encapsulated collection of fluid with a well- defined inflammatory wall, usually outside the pancreas, with minimal or no necrosis that occurs more than fourweeks after the onset of intersti­tial edematous pancreatitis[4,9]. As the concept of PPC changed and the new concept of WON was developed in

2012, care must be taken to avoid confusion regarding the terms PPC and WON, especially when reviewing clinical studies reported before 2012.
The International Association of Pancreatology and the American Pancreatic Association (IAP/APA) guide­lines were revised according to the revised Atlanta clas­sification of 2012, and the IAP/APA evidence- based guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis were published in 2013 (IAP/APA guideline 2013)[2]. At the same time, Japanese guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis were revised and the fourth and the fifth editions were published in 2015, 2021 (JPN guidelines 2015, 2021)[3]. The diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis should be based on these guidelines.
Indications forSurgical Intervention
Previously, surgical intervention with drainage and necrosectomy, was the gold standard for treatment of the infectious complications of acute pancreatitis. In the early 2000s, minimally invasive interventions were devel­oped and have been replacing highly invasive surgical procedures such as open drainage. Minimally invasive interventions include procedures such as endoscopic and laparoscopic drainage and necrosectomy. Both the IAP/APA guideline 2013 and the JPN guidelines 2015, 2021 recommend that interventions should be performed in patients with infections or other persistent symptoms, such as ongoing gastric outlet, intestinal, or biliary obstruction, pain, or complications due to a mass effect secondary to WON or PPC. Most patients with infected localized fluid collections that cannot be managed by the administration of wide­some therapeutic intervention.
The terminology for drainage and necrosectomy should be appropriately used. Drainage is a procedure to drain fluid by percutaneous, transgastric, enteral, or
spectrum antibiotics will require

transpapillary routes, or by open surgery. Necrosectomy is a procedure to remove necrotic tissue aggressively, using percutaneous, transgastric, or enteral approaches, or by open surgery. Confusion regarding the terminology for drainage and necrosectomy procedures must be con­sidered when evaluating clinical studies reported before
2012.
Timing of Interventions and Optimal Interventional Strategy for WON
In the past, outcomes following early invasive surgical interventions were very poor [10–12]. In a prospective study of 629 patients, late intervention significantly decreased mortality and morbidity[13]. Both the IAP/ APA guideline 2013 and the JPN guidelines 2015, 2021 refute the beneficial therapeutic effect of early interven­tion and recommend that intervention should be delayed as long as possible, until at least 4weeks after the onset of pancreatitis[2,3]. Interventions should be performed when fluid collections are encapsulated, and the capsule wall is thickened.
The optimal interventional strategy is still controver­sial. Open surgery was the only choice for intervention before 2000. Minimally invasive interventions, including endoscopic drainage and necrosectomy, and laparo­scopic necrosectomy, were introduced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Though the use of these novel interven­tions has been increasing, they require advanced technical skills and should be done only in high- volume centers. Some centers reported good results, although there is a large variation in expertise in performing these novel interventions among centers. Further assessment is necessary for these interventions to become standard approaches.
The Dutch Pancreatitis Study Group proposed a step­ up approach for the treatment of patients with suspected

or confirmed infected necrotizing pancreatitis[14]. The step- up approach is composed of two parts, including initial image- guided percutaneous (retroperitoneal) catheter drainage or endoscopic transluminal drainage followed by endoscopic or surgical necrosectomy. Percutaneous catheter drainage alone is reported to reduce the necessity for necrosectomy in 23–50% of patients with infected necrotizing pancreatitis[2,14–19]. Additionally, the step- up approach is reported to decrease major short- term and long- term complications and reduce overall costs compared to conventional sur­gical necrosectomy [14]. At present, the step- up approach is thought to be the most effective approach and both the IAP/APA guideline 2013 and the JPN guide­lines 2015, 2021 clearly recommend it as the optimal interventional strategy [2,3]. The IAP/APA guideline 2013 also states that no subgroup of patients requiring a different strategy can be defined, and the optimal method of necrosectomy (i.e., surgical or endoscopic necrosec­tomy) is unclear if catheter drainage fails[2].
Catheter drainage is always the first step for interven­tion in patients with local infectious complications of necrotizing pancreatitis. Less-
invasive procedures, such as percutaneous drainage guided by ultrasonography or computed tomography, and endoscopic transluminal drainage are the initial recommendations [13–16] (Fig.34.2). Surgical drainage with a small incision is indi­cated in patients for whom percutaneous or endoscopic approaches are contraindicated or fail. Multi- loculated cysts, multiple cysts, presence of significant necrotic debris, cysts in the pancreatic tail and uncontrolled hem­orrhage are also indications for surgical drainage. If cath­eter drainage fails to control infection, minimally invasive
or open surgery or endoscopic transluminal necrosec­tomy are the next steps[20,21].
Laparoscopic and video-
assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) have become new choices for a second- step intervention[14]. The results from 14 recent series of percutaneous drainage for necrotizing pancrea­titis indicate a 19.4–26.4% conversion rate from percuta­neous drainage to surgical drainage, with a 15.2–21% mortality rate [14,22–34]. The results from 18 recent series of surgical necrosectomy indicate the need for additional necrosectomy in 10–16.5%, additional drain­age in 13–13.8%, and an overall 1.7–25.8% mortality rate[35–52]. However, the step- up approach has better outcomes. The results from 10 recent series report a
17.4% conversion rate to the surgical approach with a
9.1–14.9% mortality rate[14,36,43–59]. Recently, robot­assisted transgastric cyst- gastrostomy, robot- assisted transgastric drainage and debridement of WON were reported as new minimally invasive surgical treat­ment[60–62]. Bleeding, pancreatic fistula and gastroin­testinal fistula are frequent complications of these interventions.
Surgical Intervention for PPC
Since acute exacerbations of chronic pancreatitis are a lead­ing cause of PPC, the strategy for the treatment of PPC should be different from that used for WON. Most small PPC spontaneously regress without specific interventions. Evidence of infection or persistent symptoms are a common indication for intervention in patients with PPC (Fig.34.3). External or internal drainage is thefirst choice for infected PPC, and other novel interventions have been developed

Open cyst- enterostomy (i.e., cyst­gastrostomy or cyst- jejunostomy) is often used with a reported 15.9–25.4% morbidity and 0.2–0.4% of mortality in six recent retrospective series [63–68]. Laparoscopic cyst­enterostomy, a minimally invasive approach, is becoming more common and performed by various methods, includ­ing a Roux- en- Y anastomosis and intra- gastric proce­dures [69–76]. The laparoscopic procedure has good outcomes, with 9.5–26.9% morbidity, 3.6%PPC recurrence, and 0% mortality in eight recent series [69–77].

Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is the most common cause for hospitalization in gastroenterology and has an incidence of 13–45/100,000with regional variations[1,2]. Alcohol and gallstones are the main risk factors (30–50%) with alcohol as an etiology being more common in men[3].
Considering the variety of different courses of pancre­atitis, ranging from mild abdominal pain to death, it is important to predict the likely severity of the disease early in the clinical course.
The current definition of acute pancreatitis, the grades of severity (mild, moderately severe, and severe), and the detailed description of the systemic and local complica­tions based on the revised Atlanta classification from 2012[4] are discussed in Chapter20.
Definitions
The way acute fluid collections are classified depends on the time frame of their development as well as some morphological imaging features. The acute (peri­creatic fluid collection (APFC) is a typical complication of the interstitial and edematous subtype and often develops during the first 7days of pancreatitis. It has no wall and a homogenous internal structure. The spread of an APFC is orientated along the fascial anatomy. Occasionally, APFC are found in multiple locations and they tend to regress spontaneously. If an APFC persists for longer than 4weeks there is a high probability that a pseudocyst or walled- off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) will develop.
A pseudocyst is defined as a fluid- filled space, similar to a neoplastic cyst, with a fibrotic wall. In contrast to
)pan-
neoplastic cysts, pseudocysts have no internal epithelial cell lining. Pseudocysts are considered merely complica­tions of chronic pancreatitis and occasionally of acute pancreatitis. Following the latter they evolve from APFC usually later than 4weeks after the onset of symptoms. The treatment strategies of pancreatic pseudocysts are described in Chapter3.23.
Regions of nonvital tissue damaged by hemorrhage extravasated pancreatic juice or immune cells are defined as necrosis. It represents a form of tissue injury resulting in premature nonapoptotic cell death. The morphologi­cal characteristics of necrosis caused by acute pancreati­tis are highly variable. The necrotic tissue may appear as a (semi)solid or fluid structure on imaging, although the sensitivity for detecting the solid component varies greatly between computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)[5].
An acute necrotic collection (ANC) arises within the first 4weeks of the disease in the pancreatic parenchyma as well as the extrapancreatic tissue. It contains varying amounts of fluid or solid material. The solid parts are the crucial feature to distinguish an ANC from an APFC or a pseudocyst[4] as illustrated in Fig.35.1.
If a necrotic area is enclosed by a radiologically distin­guishable capsule it is called walled- off pancreatic necro­sis (WOPN). The difference between WOPN and a pseudocyst is the presence of variable amounts of solid content in the cystic cavity. Usually it arises from an ANC later than 4weeks from the onset of pancreatitis. Contrast- enhanced MRI and EUS are best suited to dis­tinguish solid from liquid contents, but in most cases contrast- enhanced multiphase CT or even contrast­enhanced ultrasound will enable the diagnosis to be made[3,5].

Imaging ofAcute Fluid Collections 295
Figure35.1 Examples for the occurrence of acute pancreatic fluid collections (APFC), post- acute pancreatic pseudocysts (PP), acute necrotic
collection (ANC), and walled- off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) on imaging. The upper panels depict an APFC on EUS (a), which later developed into a large, but oligo- symptomatic pseudocyst (b), demonstrated on a CT scan. The reader will appreciate the absence of solid debris within the collection. In contrast, the lower panel shows an ANC on EUS (c), which matured to a WOPN. On both images, the solid content is clearly visible. The CT scan (d) was obtained prior to percutaneous drainage of the collection, which was necessary due to infection.
An originally sterile necrosis can maintain its status or become infected over the course of the disease. The diag­nosis of infected necrosis is based on the patient’s clinical presentation and the presence of gas in the necrotic cavity on radiological imaging. It is of note that an asymptomatic fistula from the necrotic cavern to the gastrointestinal tract also leads to the presence of gas within the necrosis but can be without any signs of infection. Fine- needle aspiration followed by microbiological analysis of the con­tent can confirm the presence of infected necrosis but is not needed in most cases and has a high false negative rate. Moreover, microorganisms isolated from the blood of patients with the clinical presentation of an infection or signs of an infected necrosis on imaging are of greater relevance for choosing appropriate antibiosis than those
isolated from cultured content of the necrotic cavity. Other than the extent, there are currently no features by which to predict whether necrosis will persist or regress over weeks and months.
Imaging ofAcute Fluid Collections
Transabdominal Ultrasound
Transabdominal ultrasound is an inexpensive, immedi­ately available technique to allow a first imaging impres­sion of a patient with an acute abdomen. The imaging of the pancreatic gland is often impaired by abdominal pain and an atonic gut. Edematous pancreas is characterized

by an inhomogeneous, hypoechoic structure with poorly defined boundaries[6]. The pancreatic main duct is often not visualized inside the edema. Necrotic and hemor­rhagic tissue appears more hypoechoic than the inflamed parenchyma. The echo contrast gain or use of ultrasound contrast agent permits a somewhat better distinction between vital or nonperfused tissue. For the detection of small amounts of free fluids in the abdominal or pleural cavity ultrasound remains the undisputed gold standard. The presence of ascites or the mostly left- sided pleural effusions are predictors for a more severe course of acute pancreatitis. Another domain of sonography is the fast and reliable imaging of the gallbladder and, if present, gallstones, which can confirm or rule out a biliary patho­genesis and detection of pleural effusions, which indicate poor prognosis [7]. In expert hands, transabdominal ultrasound with optional contrast enhancement is equally accurate as CT in detecting necrosis, vascular involve­ment, and severity grading[8–12].
Computed Tomography Endoscopic Ultrasound, andMagnetic Resonance Imaging
Contrast- enhanced CT scan is the fastest and most accu­rate method for the differential diagnosis of an acute abdo­men. At hospital admission CT scan is not recommended for patients with clinical confirmed acute pancreatitis unless other differential diagnosis cannot be ruled out. Imaging via CT should not be performed to assess the severity of pancreatitis on admission [13], because the extent of necrosis can still evolve until up to 72 hours after the disease onset. Therefore, a CT scan should be delayed, if required at all, for 4days after symptom onset[3,14].
Contrast- enhanced CT can confirm the size, shape, and volume of fluid collections or necrosis and is a valu­able tool to identify extrapancreatic complications including hemorrhage or pseudoaneurysms.
Two alternative methods are EUS and MRI. Despite having cost and procedural disadvantages, both methods are more sensitive in detecting solid content within a fluid collection and thus in distinguishing between plain fluid collections and pseudocysts on the one hand and areas of necrosis and WOPN on the other[5]. For more details Chapters25 and 3.23 are recommended.
Conservative Treatment ofPancreatitis andPancreatic Fluid Collections
Basic Support
All patients with acute pancreatitis should be monitored regularly within the first 48 hours after admission[3,15]. Important parameters include:
heart frequency, 6- lead ECG, blood pressure, respira-
tory rate and oxygen saturation (to detect circulatory respiratory failure and shock);
blood gas analysis (in case of oxygenation <90%) (to
detect respiratory failure) and lactic acidosis;
hourly urinary excretion measurements for the man-
agement of fluid resuscitation (for fluid management and to detect renal failure);
abdominal pressure measurement via bladder pressure
measurement (to detect compartment syndrome) if clinically suspected;
blood electrolytes;
blood glucose levels (to detect endocrine failure).
Fluid andElectrolyte Management
Due to retroperitoneal edema and increased vessel per­meability a massive fluid shift is typical for acute pancrea­titis leading to APFC. Fluid resuscitation is currently the most important intervention for reducing incidence of necrosis and patient mortality[16]. Mortality can increase to 61% if less than 3.5 L of fluid are transfused in the first day. An increase of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of 5 mg/dL within 48 hours is a sign of prerenal kidney failure and increases mortality by a factor of 2.2[17,18]. The recom­mended amount of fluid is 5–10 mL/kg body weight/h or 200–250 ml/h for the first day of treatment[16], or even less, as shown by a recent randomized trial comparing aggressive to moderate fluid resuscitation, which was stopped due to increased rate of fluid overload in the aggressive treatment arm (20.5% vs. 6.3%, p=.004) [33]. Greater therapeutic fluid volumes lead to a mortality increase partially due to abdominal compartment syn­drome (intra- abdominal pressure >20 mmHg), sepsis, or a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit[19]. The moni­toring of fluid resuscitation should use either invasive thermodilution techniques or, if unavailable, the following parameters:
heart frequency <120 bpm;
mean arterial pressure between 65 and 85 mmHg;
urinary excretion >0.5–1 mL/kg per hour;
hematocrit between 35 and 45%.
Another important point is the composition of administered fluid. Crystalline solutions are superior to colloids. Colloidal infusions are suspected of being asso­ciated with a higher incidence of renal insufficiency and should be avoided. The advantage of Ringer’s solution is its similar composition to blood as well as the nonim­pairment of electroneutrality by compensating the anion gap with lactate or acetate. Moreover, the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is reduced within the first 24 hours if Ringer’s solution is used rather than saline[20].

Nutrition
Complete fasting has no positive influence on the out­come and course of pancreatitis [21]. In fact, fasting leads to atrophy of gut villi resulting in a more rapid translocation of intraluminal bacteria, facilitating the infection of necrotic areas. Starting enteral nutrition early is recommended[22]. If the patients are not able to take oral food, feeding by tube is the most effective method. Nasogastric and nasojejunal tubes have been shown to be equally effective and safe [23], although nasojejunal feeding tubes tend to dislocate more often. The best and most natural form of nutrition remains eat­ing by mouth. Once patients are pain- free (with pain medication if required) and can tolerate food they should take oral food. If not enteral nutrition is less expensive and more physiologic than parenteral nutrition. Starting enteral nutrition immediately after admission was not found to lead to better outcomes than withholding food for 72 hours[24]. The current approach to nutrition has become much more pragmatic than in the past when all patients were put on nil-
by- mouth for long periods.
There is no role for a specific pancreatitis diet.
Antibiotics
Prophylactic application of antibiotics is not necessary for patients with acute pancreatitis, regardless of its pre­dicted severity, and could contribute to the rise of mul­tiresistant bacteria. Neither the mortality nor the rate of infected necrosis is positively influenced by prophylactic antibiotics [17]. Conversely, if infected necrosis is sus­pected, antibiotic therapy must be initialized immedi­ately. Antibiotics with appropriate pancreatic tissue levels are carbapenems, fluorochinolones, or metronida­zole. If the response to the administered antibiotics is insufficient, fine- needle aspiration followed by microbi­ological testing allows switching to antibiotics based on resistograms. In patients with sepsis other infectious foci must be considered, such as peritonitis, cholangitis, or pneumonia. In general, microbes sampled from blood cultures of pancreatitis are often more informative than those from necrotic fluid collection because of the high rate of false negatives among the latter.
Management ofEdematous Fluid Collections
An APFC tends to regress spontaneously. If it persists longer than 4weeks under conservative treatment it may develop into a pseudocyst or WOPN. Simple intra- or extrapancreatic fluid collections, the focus of this chapter, generally do not require interventional treatment unless they give rise to compartment syndrome as characterized by fluid overload and elevated urinary bladder pressure. An abdominal compartment syndrome is defined as an
increased abdominal pressure (>20 mmHg) for longer than 12 hours and simultaneous organ failure[25].
Minimally Invasive Treatment ofAcute Fluid Collections inAcute Pancreatitis
When conservative management is unsuccessful, mini­mally invasive treatment is recommended. The following sections give an overview about the different modalities.
Imaging- Guided Percutaneous Drainage
This is a technically easy and well- established method to treat pseudocysts or fluid collections. Ultrasound, CT, or MRI can be used for imaging. Although single- step needle aspiration is associated with a high relapse rate, continuous catheter- drainage systems are recommended based on their high success rate (70–100%) and a low recurrence rate[26,27]. The risk of fistula formation must be considered.
Endoscopic Drainage
This method provides a minimally invasive access for draining a pseudocyst. Transpapillary and transmural approaches from the stomach or duodenum are availa­ble. The aim is to create an artificial connection between the cyst cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. For pseudo­cysts communicating with the pancreatic main or branch duct transpapillary techniques are to be considered[28]. However, the superiority of transpapillary vs. transmural drainage in these cases has not been established. A larger retrospective study including 375 patients from the USA with different types of PFC compared the treatment suc­cess after transmural treatment alone with combined transmural and transpapillary access with no difference in long- term resolution (69% vs. 62%; P = 0.61). The pres­ence of duct disruption was not routinely investi­gated [29]. Therefore, a step-
wise diagnostic approach with duct assessment via MRI for cases with suspected duct disruption might be more promising[30].
In the authors’ view endoscopic transmural drainage is recommended for cysts that do not communicate with the pancreatic ductal system. Based on a better visualiza­tion of vessels EUS- guided drainage is associated with a lower complication rate than the endoscopic technique without EUS visualization and the latter should be abandoned[3,14,31].
For the treatment of pseudocysts with a location dis­tant to gastric lumen and with a thick fibrotic capsule a laparoscopic approach should be favored. In Chapter3.23 the strategies for surgical and endoscopic interventions for pancreatic pseudocysts, infected necrosis, and WOPN are outlined and discussed in detail.
