Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized control trial is to assess whether nasojejunal feed is better than oral nutrition in patients who are undergoing endoscopic cystogastrostomy of walled off necrosis following acute pancreatitis. It will also try to answer, the incidence of infections and feed tolerance.

The main question it tries to answer is

  1. whether nasojejunl feed is better than oral feed in patients undergoing endoscopic cystogastrostomy in walled off necrosis following acute pancreatitis
  2. How much infections they develop, whether they are able to tolerate the feed, weight gain and reintervention rates in each group
