anyone who has had psuedocyst sugery

[Guest guest]

Perhaps that would be the cystduodenostomy....there really aren't too

many different surgical procedures for pseudocyst drainage, and

believe me, I've read up on them all! It would be great if they were

able to leave his spleen alone. It's not that big a deal to remove

it, but it would mean that he would always be just that much more

suseptible to infections, as he'd be losing the organ that helps fight

against them. My SIL had hers removed last year in another

procedure entirely, and has been doing very well without it.

It's good that your husband hasn't been plagued with too many

symptoms, someone deserves a break, right? This is the 14th, so I

guess he'll be having the procedure done later today. Please know

that I'm sending good thoughts his way, and let us know how he did

when he's had a chance to regain his bearings.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
