[Surgical treatment of the pancreatic pseudocyst. Presentation of 2 successfully treated cases]

The authors present two successfully treated cases, together with an outline of the etiology, diagnostics and methods of surgical treatment of the pseudocyst of the pancreas. Both cases were etiologically similar but located differently, so that two methods of surgically intervention were used. The method of internal drainage was used in the one case and total extirpation with resection of caudal part of the pancreas in the second.
