About Cystogastrostomy

Cystogastrostomy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to drain a pancreatic pseudocyst into the stomach. A pancreatic pseudocyst is a fluid-filled sac that can develop as a complication of pancreatitis. During the procedure, the gastroenterologist uses an endoscope to create a small opening (stoma) between the pseudocyst and the back wall of the stomach, allowing the cyst contents to drain internally. This relieves symptoms like pain, nausea, and early satiety, and prevents serious complications such as infection or rupture. It is a preferred alternative to open surgery, offering a faster recovery with less discomfort for the patient.

Key Highlights
