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

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
