The article discusses the feasibility of lumen-apposing metal stent removal and replacement in the middle of necrosectomy sessions. Topics included are the possibility of stent displacement while extracting or fragmentating necrotic material, the presentation of a video of the stent removal and replacement maneuver performed during gastroscopic surgery on an alcoholic acute pancreatitis patient, and the justification for reusing the metal piece.
