Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy in the treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts

Aim: Pancreatic pseudocyst is one of the most common complications of acute pancreatitis. Symptomatic or complicated pseudocysts require treatment. The basic principle of pseudocyst treatment is its drainage. The best method is internal drainage by establishing communication between pseudocyst and stomach or small intestine. In recent years, several methods of laparoscopic internal drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts have been reported. Here we present our first three cases of laparoscopic internal drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst. Methods and results: Three patients, two males and one female were operated due to symptomatic pseudocysts after acute necrotic biliary pancreatitis. All patients were operated laparoscopically and cystogastrostomy with cholecystectomy was performed simultaneously. There were no postoperative complications. These three patients were followed up for 3 months, 6 months and one year, respectively and no recurrences were observed. Conclusion: Laparoscopic internal drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts is feasible with all advantages of minimally invasive surgery.
