In patients with pancreatic pseudocysts, recurrence have nat been observed for the last 3 years. Percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure and could be the method of choice in the management of pancreatic pseudocyst that is symptomatic and enlarging. Percutaneous drainage could play a significant role in the management of the patients with pancreatic abscess.
