Review of Complications Associated With Endoscopic Pancreatic Cyst-Gastrostomy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic fluid collections can form after episodes of pancreatitis, either acute or chronic. The majority will resolve spontaneously but when decompression is mandated, endoscopic drainage is the method of choice. However, it is not void of complications. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 65 patients who underwent endoscopic drainage of pancreatic fluid collections in our institution. The primary outcomes examined included the incidence and type of complications associated with the endoscopic approach. RESULTS: Endoscopic ultrasound was utilized in 86.2% and transgastric approach was used in 81.5% of the cases. The complication rate was 17%. Specifically, complications recorded were infection (6%), perforation and acute abdomen necessitating surgical intervention (4.6%), pneumoperitoneum that was managed nonoperatively (3%), upper gastrointestinal bleed in the knife puncture site that resolved spontaneously (1.5%), and stent migration (1.5%). One patient died remotely to the endoscopic drainage after paracentesis of ascites that resulted in hemorrhagic shock. CONCLUSIONS: This study is one of the largest studies reporting the associated morbidity and mortality after endoscopic cyst-gastrostomy. Major and minor complications occurred at a rate of 17% in our study. Endoscopic approach is a safe draining method and should remain the approach of choice for pancreatic fluid collection decompression.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
