Abstract :
Different strategies for pancreatic pseudocysts drainage are available: endoscopic drainage, percutaneous drainage, or open surgery. Pancreatic pseudocysts may be treated endoscopically by internal drainage to a neighboring adherent viscus such as stomach, duodenum or jejunum. We present a case with a large pseudocyst treated surgically. We hereby reported a case which a 62-year-old male patient who has giant pancreatic pseudocyst causing of gastric and duodenal compression. Surgical cystogastrostomy drainage was successfully performed, resulting in complete resolution of the giant pancreatic pseudocyst. We suggest that surgical cystogastrostomy for giant pseudocyst of the pancreas is safe, feasible and it brings out a good outcome.
