Background: Pancreatic Pseudocyst occurs as complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic trauma. Diagnosis is most often by cross-sectional imaging. Currently, principle forms of active therapy are percutaneous drainage, endoscopic drainage and surgical interventions Methods: We performed a unicentric, retrospective and prospective observational study of 40 patients with pancreatic pseudocyst from June 2017 to Nov 2018 at a tertiary level hospital. Results: Male population of age group 31-50 years was the common. Alcoholic Pancreatitis (77.5%) was the leading etiology. Abdominal pain (85%) and lump in abdomen (15%) were common symtoms. 47.5% patients were operated, 52.5% managed conservatively. 88.9% pseudocysts resolved completely, 5.6% did not resolve while a 5.5% recurred after treatment. Conclusions: Persistent symptoms and the development of complications warrant invasive intervention. Endoscopic approach has gained popularity with surgery reserved for patients who had failed endoscopic or percutaneous drainage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
