Aim: To substantiate the choice of the optimal treatment strategy for patients with pancreatic cysts on the background of chronic pancreatitis. Materials and methods: A retrospective-prospective analysis of the treatment of 58 patients (31 (53.4%) men and 27 (46.6%) women, aged from 26 to 73) with chronic pancreatitis complicated by the formation of cystic lesion was done. Results: Conservative treatment was applied in 8 (13.8%) cases, the puncturing technique was used in 19 (32,8%) cases, various surgeries performed in 31 (53.4%) patients. Conservative treatment was effective in 3 (37.5%) cases, puncture treatment – in 7 (36.8%), surgical – in 28 (90.3%) patients. Conclusion: Based on the findings, an algorithm of choosing the tactics of treatment of patients with pancreatic cysts in the outcome of chronic pancreatitis was developed in the clinic.
