RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, the practice of abdominal surgery marked increase in the number of patients with pancreatic cysts. Tactics of treatment of this disease is still disputable. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article analyzes the treatment of 128 patients with formed pancreatic cysts. They were divided into three groups: 1) external drainage - 44 (34.4%); 2) internal drainage - 41 (32.0%); 3) resection surgery - 43 (33.6%). RESULTS: The duodenum resections were introduced for the treatment of the pancreatic head cysts - 21 (48.8%). Resection methods in the number of postoperative complications (23.3%) could be compared with the operations of the internal drainage of pancreatic cysts (19.5%), although the resection methods are technically more difficult and traumatic. 66 (51.6%) patients were observed in the long-term period. The number of postoperated disease recurrences was more in group 1 (28.6%). Quality of life indicators (SF-36) were higher in group 3. We marked the best results after resection operations. CONCLUSION: So this type of operation can be recommended for the treatment of patients with formed pancreatic cysts as the most radical method.
