ABSTRACT

With the advancement of minimally invasive technique, laparoscopic internal drainage becomes an alternative in the minimally invasive management of pancreatic pseudocyst. Although most surgical procedures are laparoscopic cystogastrostomy, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy is rarely described in current literature. We report a case of a large pancreatic pseudocyst treated with internal drainage by totally laparoscopic Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy.
