Background: Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most common complications of acute and chronic pancreatitis. Almost half resolve spontaneously, and the rest require surgical intervention if symptomatic or complicated. Options for surgical intervention are open surgery, laparoscopic minimally invasive, still there is an option for endoscopic or ultrasonic guided drainage. Here three cases of pancreatic pseudocyst are presented and managed totally by laparoscopic gastropancreatic cystostomy (LGPC). Cases Summary: Three cases of huge pseudocyst of pancreas are presented with nearly similar story and different age group (two old and one young), all of them are a complication of microlithiasis of gallbladder stones. Patients were subjected to complete blood and biochemical investigations. Ultrasonography was supported by CT scan of abdomen to identify the relation to the gastric wall. All were preoperatively prepared and subjected to laparoscopic stapling posterior gastro-cystostomy. Postoperative period was uneventful and patients followed for 3 months to 2 years with desirable resolution. Conclusions: Laparoscopic gastro-pancreatic cystostomy (LGPC) is a minimally invasive procedure prove to be excellent in drainage and resolution of pseudocyst of pancreas. No complications nor recurrence encountered in this small series study and few complications and low recurrence are mentioned in literatures. So, we advise to have a large number of similar cases to conclude it as the best minimally invasive procedure for the management of pseudocyst of pancreas.
