Reported a case of a 52-year-old woman with a history of recurrent acute pancreatitis.
Used contrast-enhanced computed tomography for diagnosis and assessed the pseudocyst size at 8 cm.
Performed laparoscopic cystogastrostomy to extract the intracystic stone post-inflammation.
Achieved adequate internal drainage successfully without external drainage.
Postoperative recovery was smooth, with oral intake resuming on day 2.
At 12-month follow-up, no symptoms or radiological recurrence were noted.
