Internal Drainage of Pancreatic Pseudocyst

Definition

Internal drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst is a medical procedure performed to treat a pancreatic pseudocyst, which is a fluid-filled sac that forms within or adjacent to the pancreas. This procedure involves creating a connection between the pseudocyst and a nearby organ, such as the stomach or small intestine, to allow the fluid to drain and relieve pressure on surrounding structures.
