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.
