Endoscopic Cystogastrostomy: Minimally Invasive Approach for Pancreatic Pseudocyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pancreatic pseudocysts in children are not uncommon. Non-resolving pseudocysts often require surgical intervention. Endoscopic cystogastrostomy is a minimally invasive procedure which is recommended for this condition. We report a large pancreatic pseudocyst in a 4-year old child, which developed following therapy with PEG-Asparaginase for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It was managed with minimally invasive procedure.

Laparoscopic Cystogastrostomy for Pancreatic Pseudocyst: A Case Report
A 49-year-old man with a history of acute pancreatitis was hospitalized with a diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging all demonstrated a homogeneous cyst, 9 x 4 cm in size, at the tail of the pancreas without mural nodules or septa. Because an intestinal structure was identified between the cyst and stomach preoperatively by comp...

Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy is a well-accepted minimally invasive modality to treat pancreatic pseudocysts. There has been one prior report of cystogastrostomy via single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) in which specialized instrumentation and access platforms were used.We report the challenges encountered in a low resource setting with the SILS approach to drainage using only standard l...

a severe iatrogenic bleed following endoscopic ultrasound-guided cystogastrostomy A 32-year-old man with a large symptomatic pseudocyst was referred for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided cystogastrostomy. The procedure was complicated by an iatrogenic bleed from the pseudocyst border, which was associated with hypovolemia and a significant drop in hemoglobin. A fully covered self-expandable me...

The patient was a 45-year-old man with a history of heavy drinking. A pseudocyst about 30 mm in diameter was found in the head of his pancreas. About four weeks later an upper abdominal mass, abdominal pain and obstructive jaundice were confirmed. Abdominal CT revealed that the cyst had increased in size to about 60 mm, compressing the lower common bile duct and the surrounding digestive tract....

OBJECTIVE Surgery is the traditional treatment for symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts and abscesses, but morbidity and mortality are still too high. Minimally invasive approaches have been encouraged. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the endoscopic-ultrasound-guided (EUS) endoscopic transmural drainage of these pancreatic collections. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospec...
