A retrospective analysis was performed of 87 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts admitted at the Dept. of Surgery University of Hamburg from 1985 to 1989. Pseudocysts as a result of chronic pancreatitis were found in 54%. 42 patients underwent 49 operations, 35 have been drained endoscopically. In 10 cases there was spontaneous remission. 25 patients were treated by Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy. In 14 patients a resection of the pancreas was performed. The mean follow-up interval was 26 (operative treated) and 22 months (endoscopic treatment). 50% of all patients in both groups reported pain relief. The mortality in operated patients was 7% and 0% for endoscopic treatment. In ten cases a recurrent disease was observed.

D010179	Pancreas	A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
