Core Tip	A shift from early, prompt surgical necrosectomy to delay until liquefaction has become the global consensus for treatment of infected necrotizing pancreatitis, which allows drainage procedures and minimally invasive techniques to play a more important role before definitive surgery. Success rates of 80% and single-digit mortality rates are reported with transluminal endoscopic drainage and irrigation with a percutaneous gastrostomy access route. Zero mortality using transluminal endoscopic drainage without a necrosectomy can be achieved. A paradigm shift from necrosectomy to drainage for the treatment of walled-off necrotizing pancreatitis should be considered.
