Detailed information is provided on the terminology, indications and technical features of the main types of drainage interventions - percutaneous and endoscopic transluminal drainage. The results of numerous studies evaluating drainage effectiveness and possible combined applications are presented. The article also focuses on the current international clinical guidelines evidencing advisability of minimally invasive drainage interventions as part of a phased intervention strategy for the treatment of infected necrotizing pancreatitis.</p>infected necrotizing pancreatitispercutaneous drainageendoscopic transluminal drainageинфицированный некротизирующий панкреатитчрескожный дренажэндоскопический транслюминальный дренаж[Van Brunschot S, van Grinsven J, van Santvoort HC.
