Abstract

|
|
We analyzed 40 cases of pancreatic pseudocysts who were treated in Taejeon Eulji General Hosptial from Jan. 1986 to Jan. 1994 in retrospective way about their etiology, diagnostic modalities, clinical course and end results of results of
management.
Alcohol was the most accurate (93.5%) and frequently used diagnostic tool and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was very useful in planning surgical treatment. Spontaneous resolution and complications were related to its size
significantly.
All cases of diameter under 5cm were resolved spontaneously and 11 cases(73.3%) of diameter over 10cm showed complications such as infection, pleural effusion, and ascites etc. percutaneous needle aspiration(2 cases) and internal drainage(20
cases)
provided good end results without severe postoperative complications. In conclusion, large sized (diameter over 5cm), older than 6 weeks of duration and symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst is to be best treated by internal drainage.(Korean J
