A laparoscopic cystjejunostomy involves the creation
of a connection between a pancreatic cyst and the lining of a small intestine’s
jejunum 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.

Conditions
Treated with a Laparoscopic Cystjejunostomy:
A laparoscopic cystjejunostomy may be performed in
cases of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts.
Pseudocysts may resolve without intervention. An
open cystjejunostomy may be performed as a surgical alternative.
Anesthesia
with a Laparoscopic Cystjejunostomy:
A laparoscopic cystjejunostomy is performed under
general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely
unaware during the procedure.
Potential
Complications from a Laparoscopic Cystjejunostomy:
Possible risks following a laparoscopic
cystjejunostomy include infection, bleeding, an incisional hernia, damage to
other organs and a negative reaction to the anesthesia.
