Endoscopic management of pancreatic pseudocysts

Abstract: Endoscopic drainage provides a minimally invasive approach to pseudocyst management, with success and recurrence rates similar to those of open surgery but with lower morbidity and mortality rates. It should be considered the treatment of choice for pseudocysts less than 1 cm thick which bulge into the stomach or duodenum, or for those which communicate with the main pancreatic duct.

“…Percutaneous aspiration and endoscopic catheter drainage of pseudocyst fluid were developed as minimally invasive procedures [3,4,5,6,7]. However, the former is accompanied with a significant risk of infection [18], while the latter is associated with a high rate of technical failure [3] and bleeding from the cyst wall [5, 12].…”

“…These complications occur in up to 30% of patients and may require emergency surgery; thus an experienced pancreatic surgical team and expert interventional radiologist should always be available at short notice when these techniques are being undertaken. The published mortality rate is now less than 1% but appears to be biased in favour of experienced endoscopic teams and highly selected cases [56, 57, 58, 59, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83]. …”

“…Transmural drainage through the stomach or the duodenum requires the following conditions [58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65]: (1) the stomach or duodenal wall must share a common wall with the pseudocyst; (2) the distance between the pseudocyst and the gastric wall must be <1 cm on preoperative investigations; (3) there must be a clear impression of the wall of the stomach or duodenum at the endoscopy; (4) the absence of varices; (5) it is imperative that the cyst structure is not a neoplasm or a pseudoaneurysm by aspiration of the cystic content.…”
