Abstract

We describe a patient with infected pancreatic necrosis who was treated successfully with minimally invasive surgery. Five weeks after an episode of acute uncomplicated pancreatitis, he was found to have infected pancreatic necrosis and splenic vein thrombosis. The patient underwent a laparoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy, splenectomy, and cholecystectomy. Seven days after surgery, the patient was discharged and continued to be asymptomatic for the 6 months of follow-up.
