Abstract

The most frequent consequences of both acute and chronic pancreatitis are pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC). Almost half of all cases resolve spontaneously, with the remainder requiring surgical intervention if symptomatic or complex. Open surgery and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery are also alternatives for surgical intervention. However, endoscopic or percutaneous ultrasonic guided drainage is a possibility. Three examples of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC) are given, all of which were treated fully via laparoscopic pancreatic pseudocystogastrostomy (LPPCG), with other possibilities explored [1].

Three cases of large pseudocyst of the pancreas are presented with a similar story and different age. All of them are presented as a complication of microlithiasis of gallbladder stones. All of them are presented as complications of gallbladder stone microlithiasis. Complete blood and biochemical tests were performed on the patients. The Ultrasonography was supplemented by an abdominal computerized tomography (CT) to determine the connection with the gastric wall. All were preoperatively prepared and had posterior pancreatic pseudocystogastrostomy laparoscopic stapling performed. The postoperative period was uncomplicated, and the patients had excellent resolution at 8 months, 2 years, and 6 years [2].

A minimally invasive surgery known as laparoscopic pancreatic pseudocystogastrostomy (LPPCG) has proven to be very effective in draining and resolving pancreatic pseudocysts. This small series investigation identified no complications or recurrences, while the literature mentions only a small number of complications and low recurrence. In order to determine that it is the best minimally invasive approach for the treatment of the pancreatic pseudocyst, we advise having a large number of instances that are identical.
