Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage in the treatment of pancreatic pseudocyst. Methods Twelve patients with pancreatic pseudocyst underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage from December 2000 to October 2003 in this hospital, including 1 case of simple puncture aspiration and 11 cases of drainage placement. Results A conversion to open cyst-jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis was required in 1 case because the cyst and the main pancreatic duct opened into each other. Pseudocysts disappeared in the remaining 11 cases. The drainage time was 7～90 days, with a mean of 28 days. No complications occurred. Follow-up in the 12 cases for 6～34 months (mean, 18 months) found 1 case of recurrence of cyst which decreased remarkably in size. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture aspiration and drainage for pancreatic pseudocyst is simple and feasible, offering advantages of minimal invasion and fewer complications. The procedure may be applied repeatedly at early stage to multiple sites.
