Cystogastrostomy is an advanced endoscopic procedure used to treat pancreatic pseudocysts, which are fluid-filled sacs that form in the pancreas due to conditions like chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic trauma, or pancreatic duct obstruction. This procedure creates a direct connection between the cyst and the stomach, allowing the fluid to drain safely into the stomach.
By draining the fluid, cystogastrostomy helps reduce symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting that are commonly caused by pancreatic pseudocysts.
Pancreatic pseudocysts: These are common complications of pancreatitis or pancreatic injury. If left untreated, they can lead to infection, rupture, or even bleeding.
Symptom relief: If you suffer from persistent abdominal pain or discomfort due to fluid accumulation in the pancreas, cystogastrostomy can provide significant relief.
Minimally invasive: Unlike traditional surgery, cystogastrostomy is performed endoscopically, requiring no large incisions, resulting in quicker recovery and fewer complications.
Minimally invasive: This procedure is performed using an endoscope, making it much less invasive than traditional surgery.
Quick recovery: Because it requires no large incisions, recovery time is significantly shorter, and patients typically go home the same day.
Effective drainage: It provides a safe and effective way to drain pancreatic fluid and prevent complications such as cyst infection, rupture, or bleeding.
Initial Consultation: If you have been diagnosed with a pancreatic pseudocyst or are experiencing symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, our gastroenterologists will perform diagnostic tests such as endoscopy or CT scans to assess the condition.
Endoscopic Procedure: Under sedation, a flexible endoscope is inserted through the mouth to locate the pseudocyst. A small incision is made between the cyst and the stomach, allowing the fluid to drain safely.
Post-Procedure Care: Most patients recover quickly and are able to resume normal activities soon after the procedure. Our team will provide post-care instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor the cyst’s drainage.
