Abstract:
Endoscopic pancreatography has played a dominant role in the evolution of surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts. This article presents an algorithm for the management of pseudocyst disease, focusing on pancreatography and elective treatment. Pancreatography's roles in refining operative strategies, identifying associated pancreatic and biliary disease, and predicting outcome of nonoperative treatment are reviewed.
