New study pits scope against scalpel for pancreatic cleanout
NCT ID NCT06691919
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to compare two ways to treat walled-off necrosis (a pocket of dead tissue) caused by severe pancreatitis. One method uses a scope through the mouth to clean out the pocket, the other uses surgery through the stomach. The goal was to see which approach works better, has fewer complications, and costs less. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants.
