  • Title: Treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts by percutaneous drainage. Review and personal experience.
    Author: Elewaut AE, Afschrift M, Elewaut A.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Belg; 1998; 61(2):164-8. PubMed ID: 9658600.
    Abstract:
    Pseudocysts are serious complications of acute and chronic pancreatitis. Asymptomatic pseudocysts require no specific treatment. Symptomatic pseudocysts can be decompressed by surgical, ultrasonographically and endoscopically guided methods. In the absence of randomised prospective trials it can not be stated that one of these technique is superior to others. Ultrasonographic and endoscopic approaches should be confined to centres with particular expertise in these techniques.
