Drenaje de pseudoquiste pancreático guiado por ultrasonido endoscópico sin uso de fluoroscopía. Serie de casos

Abstract

Introduction: The currently recommended technique for pancreatic pseudocyst drainage should be guided by endoscopic ultrasound. Objective: To Report results obtained from our cases in the drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst guided by endoscopic ultrasound without the use of fluoroscopy. Material and methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study, of our cases between 2018 and 2019 where we describe our clinical success rate, technical success rate, complications and recurrence. Results: Technical success was 100% without the use of fluoroscope, our complications associated with procedure 3 (43%), our clinical success rate in the first procedure is 4 (57%) and in second 5 (71%) and third 100% drain. No patient required surgical intervention; only 2 (28%) required hospital management, in 7 (100%) patients the use of a fluoroscope was not required. Conclusions: Our results show that echoendoscopic ultrasound therapy even without the use of a fluoroscope, did not influence our technical success rate and potentially offer certain advantages.
