LAPAROSCOPIC PANCREATOCYSTOEJUNOSTOMY
Abstract
Background. Pancreatic pseudocyst formation is known to be one of the most common complications of chronic pancreatitis. Despite the widespread use of the laparoscopy, it is still relatively rarely employed in pancreatic surgery. Objective. To analyze the outcomes of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y pancreatocytojejunostomy as well as to present a brief literature review. Material and methods. Data from diagnostic examinations, laboratory tests, as well as the outcomes of surgical treatment of a female patient for a pancreatic cyst are presented. It is worth noting that a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y pancreatocystojejunostomy was used for pancreatic cyst treatment in this case. Results. Successfully performed laparoscopic surgery enabled to preserve as much of the pancreas as possible and to avoid postoperative complications. Conclusions. The described case, along with the reviewed publications, indicate that laparoscopic internal drainage may be regarded as a feasible method for the treatment of encapsulated cysts of the body and tail of the pancreas in chronic pancreatitis. This is due to the fact that this surgical option doesn’t involve pancreatic parenchyma volume reduction and has a lower risk of relapse as compared with external drainage methods. Based on the above mentioned, the choice of this method is associated with relatively minimal surgical trauma, fewer complications and a short-term postoperative period. To perform such operations successfully, special tools and skills are required. The presence of domestically produced endoscopic staplers contributes to the further implementation of this type of intervention into practice.
