Traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts.

D Popoola, M A Lou, E H Sims

    Journal of the National Medical Association
    |May 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgery for traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts showed no deaths but a 57% recurrence rate. Internal drainage, particularly cystogastrostomy, is preferred for better outcomes in mature cysts.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Research
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Pancreatic pseudocysts are a known complication of abdominal trauma.
    • Management of traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts can be challenging.
    • Previous studies have focused on alcoholic pancreatitis, with less data on traumatic etiologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review surgical outcomes for traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical management strategies.
    • To compare outcomes of traumatic pseudocysts with those from alcoholic pancreatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of seven patients undergoing surgery for traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts.
    • Surgical interventions included cystogastrostomy, Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy, external drainage, and distal pancreatectomy.
    • Ultrasound was utilized for diagnosis and follow-up; serum amylase levels were monitored preoperatively.

    Main Results:

    • Average age was 28 years; average hospital stay was 31 days.
    • Ultrasound proved most useful for diagnosis and follow-up.
    • Recurrence and complication rates were 57%, with no in-hospital mortality.
    • Internal drainage (cystogastrostomy, cystojejunostomy) yielded better outcomes than external drainage for acute pseudocysts.

    Conclusions:

    • Cystogastrostomy is the preferred surgical option for mature pseudocysts adherent to the stomach.
    • Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy is a secondary surgical choice.
    • External drainage for acute pseudocysts is associated with poorer outcomes.
    • Traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts may have a worse prognosis compared to those in alcoholic patients.
