title: [A comparative analysis of the laparotomy and puncture-drainage methods of treatment in unformed postnecrotic cysts of the pancreas].
abstract: The authors share their experiences with treatment of 94 patients with unformed pancreatic cysts. In 55 of them the laparotomy method of treatment (external drainage, sequestrectomy) was used after which in 14.5% of the cases postoperative complications developed, and the average time of staying at the hospital was 36 bed-days. In 1997-1998 the puncture-drainage method under USI control was used in 37 patients with the disease in question. It proved to be effective in 83.7% of the patients with the absence of large sequesters in the cyst cavities. This method allowed the number of complications and lethality to be decreased, the period of staying at the hospital being 47.2% shorter.
