Abstract EN
Although surgical drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts has been superseded by less invasive options, the requirement for specialized equipment, technical expertise, and consumables limits the options available in low resource settings.
We describe the challenges experienced during endoscopic transmural drainage in a low resource setting and the methods used to overcome these barriers.
Despite operating in a low resource environment, endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts can be incorporated into our armamentarium with minimal change to the existing hardware.
Careful patient selection by a dedicated multidisciplinary team should be observed in order to achieve good outcomes.
