Cystjejunostomy

What is a Cystjejunostomy?

During a cystjejunostomy, a connection between the lining of the jejunum of the small intestine and a pancreatic cyst is made. This provides a place for the cyst to drain.

Also Known As:

  • Pancreatic surgery
  • Pancreatic cyst removal
  • Small intestine surgery
  • Cyst removal

Conditions Treated with a Cystjejunostomy:

A cystjejunostomy is performed in cases of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts, which cause abdominal pain and bloating.

Non-Surgical or Other Surgical Alternatives to a Cystjejunostomy:

Sometimes, pseudocysts resolve on their own without intervention. A laparoscopic cystjejunostomy is a surgical alternative to the procedure.

Anesthesia with a Cystjejunostomy:

A cystjejunostomy is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely unaware during the procedure.

Potential Complications from a Cystjejunostomy:

Possible risks following a cystjejunostomy include infection, bleeding, organ damage and a negative reaction to the anesthesia. It is also possible to experience an incisional hernia.
