RESUMEN
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic cysts are rarely discussed subtypes of pancreatic pseudocysts that occur in about 10% of these cases. They are caused by erosion of the walls of neighboring vessels by extravasated proteolytic pancreatic enzymes. A retrospective analysis was performed to clinically characterize risk factors, treatment, and outcome in patients with hemorrhagic cysts of the pancreas. MATERIAL AND METHODS The retrospective study included patients from the Department of Digestive Tract Surgery in Katowice, Poland, who were treated surgically for a pancreatic hemorrhagic cyst from January 2016 to November 2022. We gathered and assessed data on cyst etiology, symptoms, imaging examinations, risk factors, time, type, and complications of surgery. RESULTS The main symptom was abdominal pain, noted in 5 (62.5%) patients. The most common etiology of cyst was acute pancreatitis, which occurred in 5 patients (62.5%). The most common localization was the tail of pancreas, found in 3 patients (36.5%). The largest dimension of the cyst was 98±68 (30-200) mm. Every patient needed surgical intervention. Patients underwent distal pancreatectomy (n=3) or marsupialization (n=5). One (12.5%) postoperative complication was observed, while mortality was 0%. CONCLUSIONS Hemorrhagic cyst is a life-threatening complication of pancreatitis requiring immediate treatment. In most cases, open surgery is the treatment of choice. Despite the continuous development of minimally invasive techniques, surgical treatment remains the only effective treatment method. Depending on the cyst localization and technical possibilities, pancreatectomy or marsupialization can be applied, and both of them have low complication and mortality rates.

The authors present minimally invasive treatment of a giant infected pancreatic pseudocyst. Throughout in-hospital period, the patient underwent endosonography-guided transgastric drainage of the pseudocyst, 7 endoscopic debridement of the cavity with sequestrectomy, laparoscopy for enzymatic peritonitis and external percutaneous drainage of the pseudocyst. Effectiveness of minimally invasive treatment was assessed considering laboratory data (CRP, white blood cell count), clinical data (hyperthermia, complaints) and follow-up ultrasound and computed tomography data (cyst dimension, sequestration). We observed with positive dynamics with decrease of intoxication syndrome, serum CRP and white blood cell count after two debridement procedures. After the seventh endoscopic debridement and sequestrectomy, granulations occurred in the cyst cavity and there was no further sequestration. At discharge, CT revealed dry residual small cavity 1.5×3 cm. There were no any complaints.

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic transmural drainage (TMD) has been accepted as the preferred therapy for symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). Recurrence of PFCs presents a unique challenge in patients with disrupted pancreatic duct (PD). We aimed to evaluate whether transpapillary drainage (TPD) provides additional benefits to TMD in patients with PD disruption. METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective study. Consecutive patients who underwent TMD, TPD, or combined drainage (CD) of PFCs were included. The primary outcome was to compare PFC recurrence among different groups. The secondary outcomes were the technical success rate, length of hospital stay, and procedure-related complications. RESULTS: A total of 153 patients, which consists of 57 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts and 96 patients with walled-off necrosis, were included. PFC recurrence was more common in patients with PD disruption than those with an intact main duct (19% vs 1.4%, P < 0.001). PD disruption was identified as a major risk factor of PFC recurrence by univariable and multivariable analyses. The recurrence rate of CD was significantly lower than TMD only or TPD only (6.5% vs 15.4% vs 22.7%, P < 0.01). The length of hospital stay of CD was significantly shorter than TMD only or TPD only (5 [3.0-9.0] vs 7.0 [5.0-12.0] vs 9 [7.0-16.0], P < 0.001). Dual-modality drainage did not increase procedure-related complications compared with TMD only (13.0% vs 12.8%, P > 0.05). Partial PD disruption was bridged in 87.3% cases while complete PD disruption was reconnected in 55.2% cases. Although statistically not significant, the clinical success rate in walled-off necrosis cases with actively bridged ducts was much higher than those with passively bridged ducts (76.9% vs 40%). DISCUSSION: Transpapillary pancreatic duct stenting seems to improve the efficacy of endoscopic TMD of pancreatic duct disruption-associated PFCs by reducing the recurrence rate and shortening the length of hospital stay.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Previous studies have demonstrated that the ideal time for drainage of walled-off pancreatic fluid collections is 4 to 6 weeks after their development. However, some pancreatic collections, notably infected pancreatic fluid collections, require earlier drainage. Nevertheless, the optimal timing of the first intervention is unclear, and consensus data are sparse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections <4 weeks after development compared with ≥4 weeks after development. METHODS: Search strategies were developed for PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception. Outcomes of interest were technical success, defined as successful endoscopic placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent; clinical success, defined as a reduction in cystic collection size; and procedure-related adverse events. A random-effects model was used for analysis, and results are expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: Six studies (630 patients) were included in our final analysis, in which 182 patients (28.9%) were enrolled in the early drainage cohort and 448 patients (71.1%) in the standard drainage cohort. The mean fluid collection size was 143.4 ± 18.8 mm for the early cohort versus 128 ± 19.7 mm for the standard cohort. Overall, technical success was equal in both cohorts. Clinical success did not favor either standard drainage or early drainage (OR, .39; 95% CI, .13-1.22; P = .11). No statistically significant differences were found in overall adverse events (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, .63-4.45; P = .31) or mortality (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, .29-4.48; P = .85). Hospital stay was longer for patients undergoing early drainage compared with standard drainage (23.7 vs 16.0 days, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Both early (<4 weeks) and standard (≥4 weeks) drainage of walled-off pancreatic fluid collections offer similar technical and clinical outcomes. Patients requiring endoscopic drainage should not be delayed for 4 weeks.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) represents the gold standard for initial drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC) due to various etiologies. However, data concerning salvage EUS drainage after initial percutaneous drainage are limited. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic collections after failure of percutaneous drainage. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted in a single, tertiary university center from August 2013 to January 2020. Indication was pancreatic collection after acute pancreatitis with PFC requiring EUS-guided drainage after failure of percutaneous drainage. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients with PFC after acute pancreatitis were included (mean age 64.1 ± 11.3 years) of which 4/22 (18.2%) had pancreatic pseudocyst and 18/22 (81.8%) presented with a walled-off necrosis. Seventy-six interventions were performed among the 22 patients. Lumen-Apposing Metal Stent (LAMS) were used in 5/22 (22.7%) and double pigtail plastic stents in 17/22 (77.3%) of interventions with a median number intervention of 3 per patient (range 1 to 7). Technical success rate was 98.7% (75/76) with an overall clinical success of 81.8% (18/22). Procedure related adverse events rate was 9.1% (2/22) including one bleeding and one pancreatic fistula. Two non-procedure related deaths were observed. CONCLUSION: EUS-guided pancreatic collection drainage is clinically effective and safe after clinical/technical failure of radiological percutaneous management.

BACKGROUND: A pancreatic pseudocyst is a collection of fluid surrounded by a well-defined wall that contains no solid material. Studies on outcomes of pancreatic pseudocyst drainage have largely been limited to small cohorts. This study aims to take a population based approach to evaluate differences in inpatient outcomes among laparoscopic, percutaneous, and endoscopic drainage for pancreatic pseudocysts. METHODS: The National Inpatient Sample database was used to identify inpatient stays for pancreatic pseudocysts in which a single drainage approach was conducted. Baseline characteristic differences were compared with Rao-Scott chi squared and Mann-Whitney U tests. Propensity score matching controlling for clinical and demographic covariates followed by multivariable regression was used to pairwise compare drainage outcomes. Primary outcomes were length of stay, total charge, mortality, and disposition. Secondary outcomes were procedure related complication rates. RESULTS: Among a total of 35,640 weighted pancreatic pseudocyst cases, 3235 underwent drainage via a single procedure. Percutaneous was the most frequent drainage method performed (44.5%) and was more likely to be performed at nonteaching hospitals than laparoscopic (17% vs 9%, p = 0.04). Percutaneous drainage was associated with longer LOS (aIRR 1.42, 95% CI 1.07-1.86, p = 0.01) versus endoscopic and lower rates of routine disposition (aOR 0.45, 95% CI 0.23-0.89, p = 0.02) relative to endoscopic and laparoscopic (aOR 0.41, 95% CI 0.27-0.61, p < 0.01) drainage. There were no differences in primary outcomes in laparoscopic versus endoscopic drainage. Percutaneous drainage was associated with higher rates of septic shock than laparoscopic drainage (aOR 2.59, 95% CI 1.15-5.82, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic and laparoscopic pancreatic pseudocyst drainage are associated with the least short term procedure related complications and more favorable in-hospital outcomes compared to percutaneous approaches. However, percutaneous drainage was the most commonly performed method in the 2017 NIS database.

Paediatric chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a relatively rare entity, but it can be accompanied by debilitating complications such as pseudocysts, chronic pain and pancreatic duct obstruction. Surgical drainage procedures, such as pancreaticojejunostomy or cystogastrostomy/jejunostomy to address these complications may be required; however, there is a paucity of evidence as to the efficacy and long-term outcomes of these operations in the paediatric population. A scoping review of contemporary (post-2000) studies detailing surgical pancreatic drainage procedures performed in children (< 18 years) was undertaken. After screening, 24 case series detailing a total of 248 patients met the inclusion criteria. Longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy and cystogastrostomy were the most common surgical procedures performed in children with CP and pseudocysts, respectively. Overall generally favourable outcomes were reported, but all studies were considered to have a high risk of bias. Operative management for paediatric CP is infrequently required; therefore, large prospective studies or trials focusing on this population are infeasible, limiting the best available evidence on the topic to case series, level IV. Recommendations to improve the quality of surgical care in the paediatric CP population could include centralisation and the formation of registries to allow accurate long-term follow-up.

OBJECTIVE: To select the optimal treatment for uninfected and suppurative rare mediastinal pancreatobiliary pseudocysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 10 patients with mediastinal pancreatogenic (n=9) and biliogenic (n=1) pseudocysts formed through esophageal (n=9) and aortic (n=1) hiatus of the diaphragm. All patients were divided into groups: group A - uninfected pancreatic pseudocysts (n=5) formed through esophageal hiatus; group B - 5 patients with suppurative pancreatogenic (n=4) and biliogenic (n=1) mediastinitis complicated by biliopleuroesophageal (n=1), pancreatoesophageal (n=1) and pancreatopleural (n=2) fistulas. RESULTS: In the group A, simultaneous procedures (n=5) were performed depending on pancreatic parenchyma and pancreatic duct destruction. Distal ductal obstruction required Frey procedure (n=3). If distal duct was patent, we resected cyst-containing pancreatic tail (n=2). Early and long-term results were favorable. In the group B, mediastinitis persisted for a long time with normal temperature as a rule. In our opinion, mild course is associated with gradual introduction of purulent tissues into mediastinum and development of a tissue barrier. Two-stage surgeries were performed in patients with pancreatopleural empyema. Mediastinitis lasting 6-8 weeks caused perforation of the lower third of esophagus (n=2) and death of 1 patient. Risk factors of mediastinal pseudocysts: hypertension in pancreatic duct and pseudocysts, immobile cicatricial tissues of omental bursa, proximity of subdiaphragmatic structures to esophageal and aortic hiatus of the diaphragm. Pressure in aortic canal (mmHg) is 10 times higher than in esophageal canal that increases migration through the esophageal hiatus. It is advisable to distinguish pancreatoesophageal and biliopleuroesophageal fistulas. CONCLUSION: Uninfected mediastinal pseudocysts require simultaneous procedures, pancreatopleural empyema - two-stage interventions. Therapy is recommended in patients with esophageal fistula and no severe symptoms and intoxication.

Severe dengue infection is life threatening as it can result in fatal complications such as intractable bleeding from coagulopathy, multiorgan failure from shock and haemophagocytic syndrome. There have been case reports of atypical manifestation of severe dengue infection such as pancreatitis, Guillian-Barre's syndrome, perforated viscus and myocarditis. However, to our knowledge, pancreatic pseudocyst from dengue-related pancreatitis has never been reported in the literature. We hereby report a case of infected pancreatic pseudocyst in a patient with persistent pyrexia, abdominal pain and raised inflammatory markers 10 weeks from the onset of severe dengue infection. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided transluminal drainage of the infected pancreatic pseudocyst with lumen-apposing metallic stent (LAMS) was performed with good clinical and radiological outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze an effectiveness of various surgical approaches for complicated pancreatic pseudocysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The results of surgical treatment were analyzed in 188 patients with complicated pancreatic pseudocysts. The study included patients with one of complications of pseudocyst (infection, bleeding, compression of adjacent organs, perforation). Depending on surgical treatment, patients were divided into 2 groups: the 1st group (76 patients) - laparotomy followed by certain open surgery, the 2nd group (112 patients) - various minimally invasive treatments without further open operations. RESULTS: Effectiveness of surgical treatment was analyzed considering incidence of complications (postoperative wound suppuration, pneumonia, sepsis, multiple organ failure) and mortality. In the 1st group, postoperative wound suppuration - 22 (29%) patients, pneumonia - 17 (22.4%), sepsis - 14 (18.4%) patients, multiple organ failure - 14 (18.4%), 15 (19.8%) patients died. In the 2nd group, these values significantly differed: postoperative wound suppuration - 9 (8%), pneumonia - 5 (4.3%), sepsis - 1 (0.9%), multiple organ failure - 4 (3.5%), 1 (0.9%) patient died. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive measures are the most optimal for any complication of pancreatic pseudocyst. Laparotomy is indicated if minimally invasive intervention is impossible for certain reason. It is advisable to concentrate these patients in specialized centers.

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a widely recognised local complication following acute pancreatitis. Typically occurring more than four weeks after acute pancreatitis, a pseudocyst is a mature, encapsulated collection found within the peripancreatic tissues manifesting as abdominal pain, structural compression, gastroparesis, sepsis and organ dysfunction. Therapeutic interventions include endoscopic transpapillary or transmural drainage, percutaneous catheter drainage and open surgery. We present our management of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis complicated by a pancreatic pseudocyst extending to the splenic capsule in a 38-year-old man. A trial of conservative management was sought, but later escalated to percutaneous fluoroscopic drainage. Despite a period of volume reduction of the pseudocyst, reaccumulation occurred. We describe successful surgical treatment via means of a splenocystojejunostomy and subsequent pain reduction.
