TREATMENT OF LARGE PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST BY ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY-GUIDED CYSTOGASTROSTOMY: EXPERIENCE IN 1 CASE AND A REVIEW OF LITERATURE / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical feasibility of treatment of pancreatic pseudocyst by endoscopy. We reported here one case of large pancreatic psuedocyst that was treated by endoscopic ultrasonography guided cystogastrostomy.The patient's symptoms resolved on the same day of operation. And one week later, the pancreatic pseudocyst decreased by more than 50% in size. Pancreatic psuedocyst resolved and didn't relapse after 6 months. So endoscopic ultrasonography guided cystogastrostomy is a safe, reliable, effective therapy for pancreatic pseudocyst with few complications.
