Abstract
The incidence of pancreatic cysts is constantly growing due to an increasing number of patients with a history of pancreatitis. Furthermore, complications after surgical interventions for pancreatic cysts occur in 30-40% of patients. Objective: to analyze the complications in patients with pancreatic cysts after open surgery. We observed 68 patients who underwent open surgical interventions: cystogastrostomy and cystojejunostomy. All patients with pancreatic cysts were divided into 2 groups depending on the type of procedure. In 27 patients (29%) of the first group cystogastrostomy and in 41 patients (81%) of the second group cystojejunostomy was performed. In 1st group complications were diagnosed in 8 cases (29.6%): postoperative pancreatitis (5 — 18.5%), cyst recurrence (3 — 11.1%). In the second group complications occurred in 7 patients (17.1%): postoperative pancreatitis in 4 cases (9.8%), recurrent cysts in 3 cases (7.3%). Thus, cystojejunostomy is less associated with complications than cystogastrostomy. K E Y W O R D S — pancreatic cy
