- oops...percutaneous drainage

[Guest guest]

,

I overlooked the word " percutaneous " and thought you were talking about

surgical drainage. I had this pseudocyst partially drained by percutaneous

drainage in 2001, and it just filled right back up again. That's one reason why

they nixxed that idea for this time. Also, the surgeon said that because the

pseudocysts were so inflamed and " angry " , he didn't want to disturb them any

further by fine needle aspiration at this time. They have not matured yet, and

apparently percutaneous drainage while they're still in this aggravated state

would be too risky.

Sorry for the confusion!

With hope and prayers,
