[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 2250094, member: 430576"] I was really lucky that I was treated in a specialist centre, so I was able to have the cyst drained by endoscopy where a stent or tube is put in to the stomach wall, and the contents of the cyst drained at first by suction, the 1.5litre. This is instead of opening up the abdomin and a cutting the stomach. [URL]https://europepmc.org/article/PMC/6650228[/URL] The stent stays in so over the next three /four weeks the rest of the cyst, which tasted like rotten eggs, to drain, then when the stent was taken out, again by endocscopy and tidied up, thats when they took out the necrotic tissue. Like I said I didn't ask if was part of my pancreas,because I was so relieved that I was feeling already much better, probabely the happy juice, I just cried. I had five weeks at home on NG feeds so, not eating the pressure inside was painful but a bit like a boil, it had to come to a head so they knew where to go through the stomach wall. If they thought you had pancreatic tissue that was necrotic, they would remove it, it would be a source of infection, they wouldn't wake you up to ask you. The consent I signed covered just about everything, I had to be X-matched for blood in case they went through an artery, and usually a consent form covers surgery they think as essential at the time of the operation. They can only see so much on CT, there may be more or less damage than they thought and perhaps they thought it was better to 'open you up'. This chap,[URL]http://www.cambridge-pcc.org/team_nicholas.html[/URL] and a Professer from Glasgow did mine as a teaching video, I was fully knocked out so I didn't get to watch. [/QUOTE]
