Pseudo cyst of the pancreas. Surgical experience in 50 cases
Journal Title: Revista Información Científica - Year 2018, Vol 97, Issue 1
Abstract
A prospective and descriptive study was carried out in 50 patients treated in the General Surgery Service of the General Teaching Hospital "Dr. Agostinho Neto" from Guantánamo, with the diagnosis of pseudocyst of the pancreas in the period 1997-2016, to which some of the surgical techniques for their solution were made. The primary data was extracted from the medical records. For the processing of information, the arithmetic mean was used as a measure of central tendency; as a measure of central dispersion the standard deviation and the range. There was a prevalence of chronic pancreatitis and acute pancreatitis. The average age is 45 years, a range of 19-72 years. The predominant sex was male. Alcoholism was observed in most pancreatitis. Chronic pancreatitis was the first cause of the pseudocyst of the pancreas. The average diameter of the pseudocyst is 12 cm. The internal drainages occupied most of the surgical procedures performed, in addition to the Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy, the cystoduodenostomy and the cystogastrostomy. There were no deaths and an average follow-up of 71.4 months without recurrence.
