Description

Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy has become one of the most effective minimally invasive procedures for managing pancreatic pseudocysts, especially when they cause persistent pain, infection, gastric outlet obstruction, or fail to resolve spontaneously. At World Laparoscopy Hospital (WLH), this surgery is performed with advanced laparoscopic techniques and the use of Stratafix bidirectional barbed sutures, which significantly enhance surgical precision and efficiency. A pancreatic pseudocyst, often developing after acute or chronic pancreatitis, contains pancreatic enzymes and necrotic debris. When it enlarges or becomes symptomatic, internal drainage into the stomach offers a safe and durable solution. During the procedure, the surgeon creates a controlled opening between the posterior wall of the stomach and the pseudocyst. This allows the cyst contents to drain directly into the gastrointestinal tract, providing rapid relief and long-term resolution. The use of Stratafix bidirectional sutures at WLH provides important advantages. These barbed sutures eliminate the need for knot tying, improve tissue approximation, reduce operative time, and offer even tension distribution along the suture line. This leads to a secure anastomosis between the cyst and stomach, minimizing the risk of leakage and postoperative complications. Under the guidance of expert laparoscopic surgeons at World Laparoscopy Hospital, the procedure is performed with high-definition imaging, precise dissection, and advanced energy devices. Patients benefit from reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery, minimal scarring, and early return to normal activities. WLH’s structured surgical protocols and world-class training environment further ensure that each case is managed with utmost safety and expertise. Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy with Stratafix bidirectional suturing stands as a modern, refined, and patient-friendly approach to treating pancreatic pseudocysts. With the excellence of WLH's surgical team, it continues to deliver outstanding clinical outcomes and set new benchmarks in minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery.
