title: Application of binding pancreatogastrostomy in laparoscopic central pancreatectomy.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The feasibility of binding pancreaticogastrostomy in laparoscopic central pancreatectomy is not known.
  
  
  METHODS
  In October 2011, a female patient with a pancreatic neck mass received laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with binding pancreaticogastrostomy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operation was successful. No complications occurred. The operative time was 210 min. Blood loss was 120 ml. On day 11 after the operation, the patient was discharged. The postoperative pathological result showed a 2 × 2 × 2-cm solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas with intrapancreatic infiltration. The surgical margin was negative.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with binding pancreaticogastrostomy might be feasible, facilitating further study in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  This study was waived from trial registration because it is a retrospective analysis of medical records.
