Abstract:
Pancreatic pseudo-cyst (PKP) represents a late complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis and of pancreatic trauma. Male sex is predominant (22/27). Average age is 43.9. PKP was most frequently associated with chronic ethylism (16), chronic pancreatitis (14) and acute pancreatitis (9), cancer (1). Ultrasonography (US) is the method used for surgical indication (parietal maturation, content) and lesion follow up. Internal drainage was used for 15 patients: 13 Jurasz cystogastroanastomy and 2 transduodenal cysto duodenostomy. External drainage was used with 9 patients. Topography was: cephalic (4), corporeal (6) corporeo caudal (13); with 4 patients topography could not be set (PKP over 15 cm). Postoperative complications occurred with 7 patients: upper digestive bleeding (4), pancreatic abscess (2), hemi-peritoneum (1). Surgical abstention (3 patients) was determined by: lack of cyst parietal maturation, progressively reduced dimensions and an acute pancreatitis episode. One patient deceased due to haemorrhagic recurrence in tryptic erosion of the portal vein. Surgical decision is supported by US. Surgical tactics shall be adapted to the topography and lesion. Inner derivation represents election indication in mature PKP. In some circumstances, external drainage is however necessary.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
