Pancreatic pseudocysts are fluid-filled collections that develop around the pancreas, usually as a complication of pancreatitis or abdominal trauma. While some pseudocysts resolve on their own, larger or symptomatic pseudocysts can cause pain, infection, or pressure on nearby organs and require surgical intervention.
At SurgicalSol, under the expertise of Dr. Asif Iqbal, we provide advanced laparoscopic surgical treatment for pancreatic conditions such as pseudocysts. As an experienced Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dr. Asif focuses on precise diagnosis and minimally invasive techniques to ensure safe treatment and faster recovery.
Common Symptoms of Pancreatic Pseudocyst
-
Persistent upper abdominal pain
-
Abdominal swelling or fullness
-
Nausea and vomiting
-
Loss of appetite and weight loss
-
Fever in case of infection
Some pseudocysts may remain asymptomatic and are detected during imaging for other conditions.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Dr. Asif uses advanced imaging such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to assess the size, location, and nature of the pseudocyst. These investigations help determine whether surgical treatment is required and guide the safest approach.
Treatment Options
For symptomatic or large pseudocysts, Laparoscopic drainage or cyst removal surgery is performed to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. This minimally invasive approach offers less pain, shorter hospital stay, minimal scarring, and quicker return to normal activities.
