Objective:
To summarize the experience in laparoscopic resection of true pancreatic cyst.
Methods:
Five patients with true pancreatic cyst, including 1 case of pancreatic head cyst and 4 cases of distal pancreatic cyst, underwent laparoscopic resection. Among them one case with pancreatic head cyst and 4 cases of distal pancreatic cyst underwent simple laparoscopic cyst resection and one case of distal pancreatic cyst underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with resection of the spleen. The curative effects were evaluated. A follow-up lasting 2 approximately 33 months was conducted.
Results:
All operations were successful with intraoperative blood loss of 50 to 150 ml. The patients could get up and move about 6 hours after the operation and were recovered and discharged 4 to 6 days later. Follow-up showed that all symptoms disappeared and no recurrence of cyst occurred.
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic resection of true pancreatic cyst is feasible with the advantages of reduced injury and earlier recovery.
