Case in brief

A 52-year-old man with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis presented with severe abdominal pain requiring opioids. Imaging revealed a mildly dilated pancreatic duct with segmental strictures and a peripancreatic cyst. Due to suboptimal endoscopic options, a hybrid laparoscopic pancreatojejunostomy was performed. The patient recovered well, resuming oral intake by the third postoperative day and achieving complete pain relief and improved insulin control at six months.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

In cases of chronic pancreatitis with small duct disease, hybrid laparoscopic techniques can provide effective surgical alternatives when standard procedures are inadequate.
