A laparoscopic cystduodenostomy involves the
creation of a connection between a pancreatic cyst and the lining of the
duodenum to allow for the cyst to drain. This procedure is performed with
a minimally invasive method that utilizes a laparoscope (a small video camera)
and small instruments inserted through small incisions.

Cystduodenostomy is a surgical alternative to the procedure.
Anesthesia
with a Laparoscopic Cystduodenostomy:
A laparoscopic cystduodenostomy is performed under
general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely
unaware during the procedure.
Potential
Complications from a Laparoscopic Cystduodenostomy:
Possible risks following a laparoscopic
cystduodenostomy include infection, bleeding, an incisional hernia, damage to
other organs and a negative reaction to the anesthesia.
