CORREA BURCIAGA, Guadalupe; GARZA, Gerardo  y  YANEZ LEIJA, Alejandro. Cystogastroanastomosis through laparoscopy: management of pancreatic pseudocyst. Cir. gen [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.4, pp.280-285. ISSN 1405-0099.

Objective: To report a minimally invasive technique to treat a pancreatic pseudocyst. Setting: General Hospital No. 4 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security. Design: Case report. Case description: We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with an 8-month history of a pancreactic pseudocyst secondary to biliary pancreatitis with a successful laparoscopic cystograstrostomy. Seven days after surgery, the patient was discharged from the hospital. The patient has been followed for more than 6 months after surgery without symptoms. The CAT scan performed 90 days after treatment revealed the disappearance of the pseudocyst. Conclusion: Our initial experience suggests that laparoscopic surgery is safe, reproducible, and a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of a pancreatic pseudocyst. It is effective when no drainage can be performed through endoscopic ultrasound.
