Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 I am so new to this group that I do not know what would happen if a pseudosyst did break. I had one a few years ago and it just went away on its own and I did not have any more problems for a couple of years. Also did you have to wait for the pseudosyst to reach a certain stage for the operation. My doctor said I needed to and that was part of the reason I was in the hospital for three months. Also when you have yours done how are they going to do it?. Mine was drained into the stomach and them pumped out. I just want to know all I can about this condition because if I have more problems I think it helps to understand a little better. Sincerely Myrna -- Surgery on Thursday Hey everyone, Just thought I would drop a quick note to let everyone know that I won't be around for a couple of weeks. I am having another pseudocyst removed, this one is 12cm, so I guess I am lucky it hasn't burst. I also have a growth on one of my ovaries, so when they do the surgery on Thursday, they are going to take care of that too. Keep as well and as pain free as you can, and I will see you all when I get back. PANCREATITIS Association, Intl.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 Dear Myrna This pseudocyst was 10cm when they found it, so I just had to wait for the other test results to come back and for the surgeon to be available. In Australia they tend to remove them completely, they are are the thought that if they just drain them, then they come back quicker. Also I have a history of large pseudocysts, which increase in size rapidly, usually anything over 5cm is considered a candidate for surgery. When a pseudocyst ruptures there is a good chance of bleeding to death, serious infection and other complications. As you can imagine I have been holding my breath with this one being so large. Hope that helps, stay well and as painfree as possible. > I am so new to this group that I do not know what would happen if a > pseudosyst did break.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 Thanks for the reply , I worry that my surgeon did not know a lot about the pancreas but he told me they have to kind of ripen and get a harder out cover so you can work with them. I do not know how big mine was and he never talked about it rupturing. I didn't know they did that. My pseudocyst was pushing on my stomach causing me to feel sick all the time. The one I had before was pushing on a bile duct to the liver and was starting to cause the liver stress, but it just went away. I hope all goes well for you. I am doing good now and have very little pain but worry all the time about another attack.
