Abstract

The pancreatic pseudocyst represents the main complication that occurred 3 to 6 weeks after an outbreak of acute or chronic pancreatitis represented by a collection containing pancreatic enzymes without their own epithelial wall. In the present paper, we present a study performed on 7 patients admitted to the Surgical Department of Sibiu County Emergency Clinical Hospital who were diagnosed with pancreatic pseudocyst between 2016 and 2020, and the drainage of the mini-invasive pancreatic pseudocyst by an incision in the right lumbar area, in the case of a 53-year-old patient known to have a history of multiple cardiac defects, the pancreatic pseudocyst being discovered approximately 6 months before, for which the patient underwent conservative treatment, and who had 5 resuscitated cardio-respiratory arrests throughout the evolution.
