‘Step‐port’ laparoscopic cystgastrostomy for the management of organized solid predominant post‐acute fluid collections after severe acute pancreatitis

Post-acute pancreatic collections (PAPCs) may require intervention when persistent, large or symptomatic. An open cystgastrostomy is an effective treatment option particularly for larger, solid predominant collections. A laparoscopic cystgastrostomy (LCG) as initially described, could be technically challenging. This report describes the evolution of the operative technique and the results from LCG in a tertiary referral centre.Retrospective...
