Aim: the Authors report their experience about the endoscopic treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts (PP). Patients and methods: report of 10 cases; evaluation of effectiveness, morbidity and mortality of treatment. Setting: Section of General and Thoracic Surgery, AOUP “Paolo Giaccone”, University of Palermo. Procedure: endoscopic drainage was performed in all 10 patients, with 2 cysto-gastrostomy, 5 cysto-duodenostomy and 3 trans-papillary cystic drainage. Results: 100% successful; one case of bleeding post-procedure (10%), one case of sepsis (10%) and one case of stricture of fistula between PP and duodenum. Conclusion: endoscopic drainage of PP is a safe and simple treatment, with high rates of success and low rate of complication procedure-related, complementary to surgery
