[Pancreatic pseudocysts--possibilities in surgical therapy].

Published: January 2004

Based on the classification of pseudocysts according to D'Egidio and Schein the different surgical techniques for the treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts, i.e. drainage procedures and resections are discussed. The role of laparoscopic techniques is demonstrated. The "competing" endoscopic and interventional techniques are mentioned. The prognosis of the patients after operations for pancreatic pseudocysts is to a smaller degree depending on the operating technique, but largely on the natural history of the disease and the discontinuation or continuation of the underlying pathogen.

Background And Aims: Benign lesions, inflammation, cysts and pseudocysts, as well as neoplasms of the exocrine and endocrine parts of the pancreas can be easily identified using cytological methods. The sensitivity and specificity can be increased with the help of additional examination methods. The sensitivity of intraoperative rapid cytology reaches about 99%.

Background And Objectives: An accurate diagnosis is crucial for the clinical management of pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN). EUS-guided through-the-needle biopsy (EUS-TTNB) is a novel technique for improving the accuracy of PCN diagnosis. There is insufficient evidence about the efficacy of EUS-TTNB.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality, often diagnosed at advanced stages. Acute pancreatitis (AP), particularly idiopathic cases, may serve as an early indicator of PC.

Objective: This multicenter cohort study investigated the incidence of PC before and after an AP episode, focusing on idiopathic AP and the role of pseudocysts as potential early markers for PC development.

Rationale: Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is an infrequent etiology of pleural effusion, characterized by nonspecific thoracic symptoms, which often leads to misdiagnosis and subsequent severe complications. Consequently, early diagnosis is crucial for effective management and the prevention of adverse outcomes. This report presents a rare case of PPF causing bilateral pleural effusions, aiming to enhance clinical recognition of this condition.
