[Surgical procedure in pancreatic cysts and fistulae].

The authors have generalized the experience with the treatment of 11 cases of pancreatic cysts and 4 cases of external pancreatic fistulas. The anastomosis with hollow organs (7 cases) has proved to be a method of choice in the surgery of pseudocysts. In authors' opinion, the internal drainage creates favourable conditions for persistent decompression of the duct system, promotes the obliteration of the cyst and the attenuation of inflammatory process in the pancreas, while the external drainage of the cyst is indicated in fresh cysts with a loose easily tearing capsule, when anastomosis is impossible for technical reasons.
