title: Single-incision Laparoscopic Intragastric Surgery for a Pancreatic Pseudocyst.
abstract: Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery is an emerging laparoscopic technique that aims for a minimal invasive approach. Several cases and series have been reported in literature for a wide variety of pathologies, such as appendectomy, cholecystectomy, bariatric procedures and colonic surgery. We report the case of an intragastric cystogastrostomy performed by SILS in a patient with a symptomatic pseudocyst of the pancreas. With this case we would like to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of the procedure.
