title: Laparoscopic intragastric stapled cystgastrostomy of pancreatic pseudocyst in a child.
abstract: The current management for pancreatic pseudocysts in children is predicated on adult techniques and includes open, endoscopic, percutaneous, and laparoscopic drainage. In this paper, we report our technique using two intragastric cannulas for the creation of a laparoscopic stapled pancreatic cystgastrostomy.
