Abstract

Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) arise as a consequence of pancreatic injury. Pancreatic pseudocysts, pancreatic abscess, and walled-off pancreatic necrosis are types of PFCs. The terminology of PFCs was developed to allow proper classification and define the severity of disease. PFCs that are misclassified can have clinical consequences.

The management of PFCs has seen an evolution from invasive surgical management to more minimally invasive management by interventional radiology and endoscopic drainage. There has been a dramatic decline in morbidity and mortality associated with the management of PFCs with minimally invasive methods compared to the surgical management. This chapter focuses on endoscopic management of PFCs and possible future directions.
