  • Title: Management of pancreatic pseudocysts in chronic alcoholic pancreatitis with duct dilatation.
    Author: da Cunha JE, Bacchella T, Mott Cde B, Machado MC.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1985; 70(1):53-6. PubMed ID: 4019085.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-one patients with pancreatic pseudocysts secondary to alcoholic pancreatitis were treated by cystojejunostomy (16), cystoduodenostomy (4) and external drainage (1). In all patients, the duct of Wirsung was drained into a defunctionalized loop of the jejunum at the same operation. There was no early or late mortality. Pseudocyst recurrence did not occur, and only one patient (4.7%) had light pain recurrence in the follow-up period. The importance of providing an outflow route for the obstructed pancreatic duct, and not just for the pseudocyst, is stressed due to this experience with patients affected by underlying chronic pancreatitis.
