Abstract;A forty seven-year-old male who had been in clinical follow-up for a pancreatic pseudocyst underwent a laparoscopic cystogastrostomy through the lesser peritoneal sac in 1996. This procedure is performed by creating a cystotomy and posterior gastrotomy through which an Endo GIA is applied. The mouth of cystogastrostomy is closed using continuous sutures by Endo STITCH. This approach does not rely on adhesions between the pseudocyst and posterior wall of the stomach, and offers clear advantages over previously described techniques in the management of pancreatic pseudocyst.
