Abstract:

【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic external drainage for management of pancreatic pseudocysts with infection. Methods In this retrospective analysis, 20 patients (15 men and 5 women) with infected pancreatic pseudocysts who underwent laparoscopic external drainage were reviewed. Results The mean operation time was 46.3 minutes and the hospital stay was 11.2 days. One post-operative patient suffered from abdominal infection due to pancreatic fluid leakage after operation. Pancreatic-abdominal fistula occurred in 3 patients and had pulmonary infection occurred in 2 cases. All patients recovered. The patients had to carry the drainage tubes for 36 d to 92 d (mean 45.5 d) after operation. Three patients had recurrence of pancreatic pseudocysts after pulling out the drainage tubes. Conclusion Laparoscopic external drainage is safe and feasible in the treatment of infected pancreatic pseudocysts.
