The treatment of chronic pancreatitis requires a surgical approach in patients who are refractory to medical therapy. During surgical treatment, ductal decompression is required, but a pancreatectomy is necessary for some patients, such as those with severe stenosis of the pancreatic duct. Indeed, suboptimal procedures lead to recurrent pancreatitis. We used a laparoscopic hybrid approach for patients with severe stenosis of the pancreatic duct. In this report, we present the feasibility and outcomes of our approach.
