What is a Laparoscopic Cystgastrostomy?

A laparoscopic cystgastrostomy involves the creation of a connection between a pancreatic cyst and the stomach’s back lining, where the cyst will 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.

Also Known As:

·         Drainage of cyst

·         Laparoscopic surgery

Conditions Treated with a Laparoscopic Cystgastrostomy:

A laparoscopic cystgastrostomy may be performed in cases of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts.

Non-Surgical or Other Surgical Alternatives to a Laparoscopic Cystgastrostomy:

Pseudocysts often resolve without any intervention. A cystgastrostomy may be performed as a surgical alternative.

Anesthesia with a Laparoscopic Cystgastrostomy:

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

Potential Complications from a Laparoscopic Cystgastrostomy:

Possible risks following a laparoscopic cystgastrostomy include infection, bleeding, an incisional hernia, damage to other organs and a negative reaction to the anesthesia.
