The use of lumen-apposing metal stent is well defined for endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of pancreatic collections (e.g. WON). However, it is not yet a well-established approach in the management of postsurgical collections. We present an alternative application of LAMS for EUS drainage of pelvic abscess, showing that it is a safe and minimally invasive technique, with excellent clinical results. This technique should be considered as a drainage alternative in these scenarios due to its lower morbidity and mortality, opening a new era in the approach to these lesions.
采用 lumen-apposing 金属支架进行内镜超声引导下胰腺脓肿（例如，WON）引流的方法已得到明确界定。然而，该方法在处理术后脓肿方面尚未得到广泛应用。我们提出了 LAMS 在经内镜超声引流盆腔脓肿中的另一种应用，结果显示该方法是一种安全且微创的技术，具有极好的临床效果。由于该技术具有较低的发病率和死亡率，在这些情况下，应将其视为一种引流替代方法，为这些病变的治疗开辟了一个新的时代。
