Core Tip
Core tip: With improvements in laparoscopic surgery, patients with pancreatic duct stones (PDS) are increasingly undergoing laparoscopic treatment. However, no report is available of laparoscopic pancreatic duct incision, stone removal, and T-type tube drainage for PDS in the English literature. We applied this approach in such a case and suggest that this procedure is applicable and can be effectively and safely used for the treatment of the abdominal pain of chronic pancreatitis in strictly selected patients.
