GOMEZ ZULETA, Martín Alonso. Endoscopic management of pancreatic pseudocysts. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.3, pp.183-190. ISSN 0120-9957.

One of the complications of acute pancreatitis, which has a high prevalence in our environment, is the formation of pseudocysts. Some pseudocysts are spontaneously reabsorbed but others require intervention. Since interventions are often surgical, both morbidity and mortality rates are high. Radiological, endoscopic and other approaches have lower morbidity and mortality rates but are less well known in our country. This is a study of our experience with 9 cases of endoscopic management of pseudocysts. We briefly present these cases, review the subject and provide a step by step description of a drainage method that is easily applicable by physicians interested in the subject.

Palabras clave : Pseudocyst; acute pancreatitis; endoscopy; drainage.
