LAPAROSCOPIC CYSTO-GASTROSTOMY
This
is done for pseudocyst of pancreas which is a sequalae of biliary pancreatitis.
In this condition there will be fluid collection around the pancreas with or
without any pancreatic necrosis. If it persists even after six weeks of
pancreatitis with symptom or if the cyst size is more than 6cm then it requires
drainage. Here the cyst will be drained into the stomach through laparoscope.
Depending on the site of the cyst, sometime the cyst will be drained into small
intestine (Cysto-jejunostomy).
