Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "endoscopic ultrasound-guided versus percutaneous drainage for the management of post-operative fluid collections after distal pancreatectomy" methods: adults who underwent distal pancreatectomy from january 2012 to august 2021 and developed symptomatic popfc in the resection bed were retrospectively identified from a single academic center database.Demographic data, procedural data, and clinical outcomes were abstracted.Clinical success was defined as symptomatic improvement andradiographic resolution without requiring an alternate drainage modality.Quantitative variables were compared using a two-tailed t-test and categorical data were compared using chi-squared or fisher¿s exact tests.Results: of 1046 patients that underwent distal pancreatectomy, 217 met study inclusion criteria (median age 60 years, 51.2% female), of whom 106 underwent eusd and 111 ptd.There were no significant differences in baseline pathology and popfc size.Ptd was generally performed earlier after surgery (10 vs.27 days; p < 0.001) and more commonly in the inpatient setting (82.9% vs.49.1%; p < 0.001).Eusd was associated with a significantly higher rate of clinical success (92.5% vs.76.6%; p = 0.001), fewer median number of interventions (2 vs.4; p < 0.001), and lower rate of popfc recurrence (7.6% vs.20.7%; p = 0.007).Aes were similar between eusd (10.4%) and ptd (6.3%, p = 0.28), with approximately one-third of eusd aes due to stent migration.¿type of adverse events/number of patients in eusd group¿ moderate bleeding - 2 patients severe bleeding - 1 patient infection (moderate) - 1 patient pancreatitis (moderate) - 1 patient in patients who died before follow-up, a family member or power of attorney was contacted to gather information regarding the date and cause of death and recorded in the electronic medical record.Four patients in the eusd group (3.6%) died within 6 months of the index procedure from non-procedure related causes, which was assessed as non-reportable.There is no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.
