A 43 year old female had a pancreatic stent placed during ERCP for elevated LFTs. The stent migrated proximally into the pancreas and was unable to be retrieved with multiple endoscopic attempts. After several episodes of pancreatitis, she was evaluated for surgical retrieval. A laparoscopic central pancreatectomy was performed to remove the stent, and a pancreaticogastrostomy was created for reconstruction.
