  Introduction: Pancreatic pseudocyst is a localized peripancreatic fluid collection that results from pancreatic inflammation due to pancreatitis, trauma or ductal obstruction due to stricture or stone. Pancreatic pseudocyst drainage through the stomach or small intestine can be performed by open drainage, considered as standard treatment, and the endoscopic approach is less invasive than open surgery. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of open and endoscopic cystogastrostomy for the drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. Materials and methods: Thirty patients diagnosed (based on CECT (Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography)) with pancreatic pseudocysts (size being>6 cm) requiring intervention were considered. Patients were divided into 2 groups; Group 1 consisted of patients planned for open cystogastrostomy drainage and Group 2 consist.. Read More»
