OBJECTIVES: Data on the endoscopic treatment outcomes for walled-off necrosis (WON) in children are limited. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic approach for the treatment of WON in children.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted of all children with symptomatic WON treated endoscopically over 6 years. Treatment consisted of endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage using either a lumen-apposing metal stent or multiple 7Fr double pigtail plastic stents with or without percutaneous drainage. Main outcome measures were technical success, treatment success, recurrence, reinterventions, and adverse events.RESULTS: Six children (5 girls, median age 12 years) underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided WON drainage by creation of a single transmural tract in 5 patients and multiple transmural tracts in 1. Stents placed were plastic in 5 patients and lumen-apposing metal stent in 1. One patient underwent concomitant percutaneous drainage. Treatment success was achieved in all of the 6 patients (100%) following a single intervention in 4 patients and 2 interventions in 2. No procedure-related adverse events were encountered. At 8-week follow-up, the transmural stents were retrieved in all but 1 patient who had a disconnected pancreatic duct. At a median follow-up of 781 days (interquartile range 336-869 days), no WON or symptom recurrence was encountered in any patient.CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic treatment is effective, safe, and when available should be the first-line modality for the management of WON in children.
