Abstract
Patients with a walled-off retrogastric collection and an isolated viable tail are effectively managed by a transgastric approach. Despite this seemingly “unstable anatomy,” the creation of an internal fistula via surgical or endoscopic “cystgastrostomy” avoids external fistulas/drains and the short-term necessity of surgical distal pancreatectomy. A very small subset requires intervention for late symptoms.
