Egypt’s Initial Experience With Robotic-Assisted Cystogastrostomy and Pancreatic Debridement for Large Walled-Off Pancreatic Necrosis: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Gallstones are the most common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is one of the sequelae of AP. Endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques for cystogastrostomy have been reported in the literature as treatment options for complicated or symptomatic WOPN. Here, we describe two cases of gallstone-related AP complicated by WOPN treated by robotic-assisted transgastric cystogastrostomy and cholecystectomy.
