[Surgical treatment of complicated cysts of the pancreas]

The removal or internal drainage of complicated cysts of the pancreas can be performed but in 17-20% of the patients. The external aspiration-irrigation draining of the cyst in most of the patients is thought to be a saving method of treatment allowing to reduce lethality to 9% and achieve the elimination of the cyst and external pancreatic fistula in 78% of the patients. Different methods of surgery depending on the pathological process allow liquidation of the cyst and external pancreatic fistula in 87% of the patients and obtaining complete socio-labour rehabilitation in 90% of the patients.
