It is usually done by putting CT/ Ultrasound guided drainage catheter into the collection. Multiple catheters may be required, and frequent upgradation may be needed.

3rd phase is after 4 weeks. This is the phase for managing the late complications like pseudocyst or pancreatic fistulae. This can be done with endoscopic interventions or surgery

    An inflammation of the pancreas is known as Pancreatitis. The pancreas is an organ that produces digestive enzymes. Pancreatitis might start any day and continue for long period and it requires immediate medical attention. It is of two types- acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Although the treatment usually requires hospitalization, pancreatitis can be easily stabilized and the underlying cause can be treated thereafter.
