ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of operation method in surgical treatment of pancreatic cyst. Method Retrospectively stastical analysis on 118 cases of pancreatic cyst was carried out.Result Thirty-one cases underwent external drainage,54 cases were subjected to internal drainage,and 33 cases to resection.Con- clusion For a genuine cyst,it is better to have it reacted.External drainage is only indicated for pseudocysts in emergent situations such as infection,hemorrhage or rupture,but is often accompanied with multiple complica- tions.Internal drainage is indicated for unresectable cysts and is superior to the external one,but it has some com- plications too.Resection of the pancreatic body and tail is the first choice for cysts located there,and it shows a good and thorough therapeutic effect with seldom recurrence.
