Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most common lesions of the pancreas. Endoscopic and US-endoscopic techniques are today the best minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures available for this pathology. From January 1980 to December 2001 we observed a total of 74 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts secondary to acute pancreatitis. Twelve patients were treated by medical therapy, 37 with a surgical approach, 15 by endoscopic drainage and 10 by CT-guided drainage. The mean size of the pseudocysts was 12.9 cm (range: 3.4 to 24 cm) and 69.4% were larger than 10 cm. CT-guided drainage had a 50% complication rate (P = 0.00814), a 20% mortality rate (P = 0.00463) and a 10% relapse rate. The surgical approach was associated with a complication rate of 18.9% and a 5.4% relapse rate. The endoscopic approach presented a 13% morbidity rate and a 6.6% relapse rate. CT-guided drainage is the therapeutic approach we use in emergency cases, but endoscopic therapeutic technique is the best procedure and is a valid alternative to surgical and CT-guided drainage. The shortest mean hospital stay (4.8 days) was observed with the endoscopic approach.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
