It has been appreciated for a long time that surgery is the treatment of choice for symptomatic, and especially infected, pancreatic pseudocysts. This paradigm is now being challenged by endoscopic cystoenterostomy and cystogastrostomy, which have both been employed with success in selected patients. We present three cases in which infected pancreatic pseudocysts resolved following endoscopic cystogastrostomy guided by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).

D019160 Endosonography Ultrasonography of internal organs using an ultrasound transducer sometimes mounted on a fiberoptic endoscope. In endosonography the transducer converts electronic signals into acoustic pulses or continuous waves and acts also as a receiver to detect reflected pulses from within the organ. An audiovisual-electronic interface converts the detected or processed echo signals, which pass through the electronics of the instrument, into a form that the technologist can evaluate. The procedure should not be confused with ENDOSCOPY which employs a special instrument called an endoscope. The "endo-" of endosonography refers to the examination of tissue within hollow organs, with reference to the usual ultrasonography procedure which is performed externally or transcutaneously.
