[Laparoscopic pseudocysto-jejunostomy]

Laparoscopic surgery of the pancreas, acquisition of the recent years, finds application in the surgical management of pancreatic pseudocysts (PP). Among internal drainage procedures that can be performed through laparoscopic approach, the pseudocysto-jejunostomy technique (PJS) can be performed using only the standard laparoscopic instrument set. We submit the technique we used in performing a PJS on three patients admitted in our clinic. The postoperative outcome was favorable, having obtained identical results to those of the open approach. The mean duration of the interventions was 216.6 minutes. The mean postoperative hospitalization was 7 days. The laparoscopic approach allows internal drainage of PP in the form of PJS to be performed in good circumstances, also bringing about all the specific benefits of this type of surgery.
