@entity12679 ( @entity12679 ) is a benign pancreatic @entity5 . Surgical resection is recommended for symptomatic forms, but laparoscopic fenestration of large symptomatic macrocystic @entity12679 was not yet described in the literature. In this study, 3 female @entity1 underwent laparoscopic fenestration for macrocystic @entity12679 (12-14 cm). Diagnosis was established via magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasound, with intra-cystic dosage of @entity5 markers (ACE and CA19-9) in 2 @entity1 . All @entity1 were symptomatic and operated on 15-60 mo after diagnosis. Radiological evaluation showed constant cyst growth. @entity1 were informed about this new surgical modality that can avoid pancreatic resection. The mean operative time was 103 min (70-150 min) with one conversion. The post-operative course was marked by a grade A @entity3472 in one @entity1 and was uneventful in the other two. The hospital stay was 3, 10, and @entity28623 , respectively. The diagnosis of macrocystic @entity12679 was histologically-confirmed in all cases. At the last follow-up (13-26 mo), all @entity1 were symptom-free, and radiological evaluation showed complete disappearance of the cyst. Laparoscopic fenestration, as opposed to resection, should be considered for large symptomatic macrocystic @entity12679 , thereby avoiding pancreatic resection morbidity and mortality.
