The management of haemorrhagic complications of pseudocysts and abscesses of the pancreas.

We have reviewed the literature relating to experience of haemorrhage associated with pancreatic pseudocysts and abscesses in an attempt to evaluate different types of management. A further case, where extensive pancreatic resection successfully halted bleeding which followed drainage of a pancreatic abscess, is described to illustrate some of the principles of management.
