This chapter provides a summary of a landmark study in abdominal surgery. Does a minimally invasive, “step-up” approach to necrotizing pancreatitis reduce mortality and major complications as compared to open necrosectomy? Starting with that question, it describes the basics of the study, including funding, year study began, year study was published, study location, who was studied, who was excluded, how many patients, study design, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, gives a summary and discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case involving a patient with infected pancreatic necrosis.
