Abstract
Aims: Laparotomy for infected pancreatic necrosis has very high rates of morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic Transgastric Necrosectomy (ETN) is an accepted alternative method for debriding infected necrosis. The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) and P-POSSUM scoring systems are well-validated risk stratification tools used in emergency laparotomy cases. We aimed whether these systems can also be used to accurately risk stratify patients undergoing ETN.
