Does pancreatic true cyst need treatment?

Non operative treatment is suitable for small cysts or early stage of acute pseudopancreatic cysts. For non-surgical treatment of pancreatic cysts, B-ultrasound or CT should be used for close follow-up. If the cyst enlargement does not absorb, produce obvious clinical manifestations, or cyst infection, rupture, bleeding and other complications, should be actively converted to surgical treatment.

Surgical treatment is the main method for the treatment of pancreatic cysts. It is suitable for pseudopancreatic cysts, larger true cysts and various kinds of pancreatic cystic tumors which have clinical manifestations or complications but are ineffective in non-surgical treatment.

Percutaneous catheter drainage is suitable for infective or non infective cysts. Under the guidance of B-ultrasound or CT, cyst puncture was performed at the site avoiding internal organs or blood vessels. After the cyst fluid was confirmed to enter the cyst, external drainage was completed. Generally, the drainage time is 2-4 weeks. When there is no liquid flowing out of the drainage tube, and the cyst disappears or shrinks obviously as confirmed by B-ultrasound or CT, the drainage tube can be removed.
