• Early (2-week) versus standard (4-week) metal stent removal after EUS-guided drainage for walled-off pancreatic necrosis.

  This test checks whether removing the metal stent early (at 2 weeks) and placing a double-pigtail plastic drain, versus removing it at the usual 4 weeks without a plastic drain, lowers the chance of fluid collection coming back or needing another procedure in adults with walled-off pancreatic necrosis.
