Pancreatic Pseudocyst Treatment in India

Aarav Brown, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had a history of recurrent acute pancreatitis due to gallstones, which were removed two years prior. For the past three months, he experienced persistent, dull upper abdominal pain that radiated to his back, early satiety, and a 15-pound unintentional weight loss. A CT scan revealed a large 8cm pseudocyst in the body of his pancreas, compressing his stomach. His surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended an endoscopic cystgastrostomy, explaining it as a minimally invasive procedure to create a drainage pathway from the cyst into his stomach. Aarav underwent the procedure under sedation. The emotional toll was significant; he was anxious about his ability to provide for his family and frustrated by his constant discomfort and lack of energy. Post-procedure, he stayed in the hospital for two days for observation. The pain subsided dramatically within a week, and he gradually regained his appetite and strength over the next month. Follow-up imaging showed resolution of the cyst. Emotionally, Aarav felt a profound sense of relief and regained optimism, allowing him to fully engage with his family and work again without the shadow of chronic pain.
