Twenty-one consecutive patients with pancreatic pseudocyst have been reviewed. Nine cases have been treated with internal drainage, 9 with external drainage, while 3 patients have undergone distal pancreatectomy. No mortality was associated to the surgical treatment, while morbidity was of 9.5% due to pancreatic fistulas. Based on their own experience and literature review the Authors describe clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of the disease and point out the good results of cistojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y loop.
