Minimally invasive percutaneous cystogastrostomy in the surgical treatment of postnecrotic pancreatic cyst

Abstract

The incidence of pancreatitis in the last ten years has been steadily growing — the age of patients with the first diagnosis of acute / chronic pancreatitis has decreased from 50 to 39 years, the percentage of patients with disability has increased to 15 %. One of the most common manifestations of chronic pancreatitis is the development of postnecrotic pancreatic cysts of various localization with a corresponding clinical picture. Currently, the main types of surgical treatment for postnecrotic pancreatic cysts are: drainage and resection methods of treatment. Topographic and anatomical features and the presence of concomitant pathology in the anamnesis necessitate the development of new minimally invasive, safe and effective methods of surgical treatment of postnecrotic pancreatic cysts.
