Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Patients may evolve pseudocysts of the pancreas secondary to a severe pancreatitis. In case of a symptomatic or infected pseudocyst, a therapeutic drainage of the cyst is indicated. In modern medicine the preferred way to perform such a drainage is by the means of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). It is not precisely elucidated how this EUS-procedure should be performed in different scenarios. The cyst appearance and the drainage stents and/or technique may impact the clinical outcome. This study is a prospective, single-center observational study on the outcome after EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Short time complication rate
- timeFrame
- Uo to 48 hours
- description
- The number of EUS-procedure-related complications such as bleeding, infection and death.
- measure
- Repeated drainage frequency
- timeFrame
- Up to 3 months
- description
- A successful drainage means no need for additional drainage procedures. The need for a repeated drainage is to be regarded as a therapeutic failure. The number of repeated procedures due to the need for additional drainage is recorded.
Secondary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Hospital stay
- timeFrame
- Up to 30 days
- description
- The number of days spent in hospital post-EUS-drainage
