Laparoscopic Management of Postventriculoperitoneal Shunt Abdominal Pseudocyst in 10 Years Old Girl
The pseudocyst wall is covered with inflammatory fibrotic tissue, unlike true cysts whose wall is covered with mesothelium. Treatment of abdominal pseudocysts involves resection of the pseudocyst wall and shunt replacement. The above procedure can be done by open or minimal access to the surgical procedure. A 10-year-old girl to whom the VPS is placed comes from long-term abdominal colic and symptoms similar to an acute abdomen. We treated the girl with minimal access to the procedure, performed a resection from the abdominal pseudocyst, and did a VPS replacement. The patient’s postoperative course was satisfactory.
