Il trattamento endoscopico delle pseudocisti pancreatiche.
2006
Aim: the Authors report their experience about the endoscopic treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts (PP). Patients and methods: report of 10 cases; evaluation of effectiveness, morbidity and mortality of treatment. Setting: Section of General and Thoracic Surgery, AOUP “Paolo Giaccone”, University of Palermo. Procedure: endoscopic drainage was performed in all 10 patients, with 2 cysto-gastrostomy, 5 cysto-duodenostomy and 3 trans-papillary cystic drainage. Results: 100% successful; one case of bleeding post-procedure (10%), one case of sepsis (10%) and one case of stricture of fistula between PP and duodenum. Conclusion: endoscopic drainage of PP is a safe and simple treatment, with high rat…
Safety and Feasibility of Robotic-Assisted Drainage of Symptomatic Pancreatic Pseudocysts: A Case-Series Analysis (with video).
2021
Background: The surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs) in patients who fail nonoperative management has evolved from aggressive open to a minimally invasive approach. The application of robotic surgery in this setting is scarcely reported. The aim of this study is to analyze the safety and feasibility of the robotic approach to pancreatic pseudocyst drainage. Methods: A single centre retrospective review of consecutive patients undergoing robotic-assisted pancreatic pseudocyst surgeries in an academic tertiary institution was performed. Results: There were 14 patients studied, of whom 10 underwent cystogastrostomy and 4 Roux-En- Y cystojejunostomy. Eight patients had gallstone p…
