Laparoscopic Gastroscopic Transgastric Cystogastrostomy and Cholecystectomy for Pseudopancreatic Cyst after Gallstone Pancreatitis in Children

Abstract

A 15-year-old girl presented with gallstone pancreatitis. Subsequently, a pseudopancreatic cyst developed that was diagnosed on computed tomographic scan. She underwent a laparoscopic and gastroscopic transgastric cystogastrostomy. In the following report, we describe our novel approach and technique for the above condition.
