Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing Laparoscopic and endoscopic drainage for pseudocyst of the pancreas secondary to acute pancreatitis. The primary outcome measure will be resolution of the pseudocyst by the intended treatment within 4 weeks. The secondary outcomes will be complications, recurrence and cost analysis between the two methods.

Inclusion Criteria: Symptomatic patients with pseudocyst of size more than 6 cm, more than 6-8 weeks duration after an attack of acute pancreatitis. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with chronic pancreatitis associated pseudocyst. * Patients who have undergone any form of intervention previously * Patients with significant co-morbidities * Patients unfit for general anesthesia * Bleeding disorders * Patients refusing consent * Patients having significant necrotic debris not considered fit for endoscopic drainage. The presence of necrotic debris will be assessed by ultrasound of the abdomen and if required magnetic resonance imaging. The volume of the cyst and that of necrotic debris will be calculated and significant debris will be defined as \>30% of debris volume/volume * Presence of a pseudoaneurysm
