Case report details minimally invasive laparoscopic drainage of a giant pancreatic pseudocyst, highlighting the importance of postoperative surveillance.

Key Points

Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy effectively managed a large pancreatic fluid collection in a young patient, improving symptoms.
The patient had an 18.5 cm pancreatic fluid collection that was identified as consistent with walled-off necrosis.
Structured postoperative surveillance is necessary to identify and address complications, such as abscess formation.
This case demonstrates the viability of minimally invasive approaches in treating complex cases of acute pancreatitis.
