Laparoscopic Beger procedure was performed in patient (male) with chronic pancreatitis type C (classification of M.Buchler). The age of the patient was 54 years. The size of the pancreatic head was 34 mm, the diameter of the main pancreatic duct was 9 mm. And patient had regional portal hypertension as a result of the pancreatic head compression of the portal vein. Superior mesenteric vein under the low margin of the pancreas head was visualized. Stay sutures were placed for the traction. The anterior gastroduodenal artery was identified and ligated close to the common hepatic artery. The pancreas was transected on the level of the neck. The subtotal resection of the pancreas was performed. The resection finished when the distance of the cut-line from the pancreas to the duodenal wall was ventral 5 mm and dorsal 2–3 cm. The main pancreatic duct was opened longitudinally in the distal part of the pancreas. A side-to-end pancreaticojejunostomy and a side-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy were formed with single-layer continuous sutures using nonabsorbable materials (Ti-cron 2.0). Hepaticojejunostomy was formed in one case.

The operating time was 680 minutes. Blood loss was 250 ml. There was no conversion and complications in post-operative period. The length of postoperative days was 5 days.

Women with chronic pancreatitis, 55 years old, with chronic abdominal pain and completed bleeding in cyst of the tail of the pancreas. The size of the pancreatic head was 60 mm, the diameter of the main pancreatic duct was 8 mm. The procedures were performed through the 5 trocar accesses. Intraoperativelly were used following instruments: harmonic scalpel, monopolar coagulation, 5-10 mm trocars, Endo GIA Universal stapling system. After the pancreas mobilization and visualization vena mesanterica superior and splenic vein distal part of the pancreas was resected. The head of the pancreas was stitched with the stay sutures on the border of resection. The main pancreatic duct was opened with an active branch of the Harmonic scalpel. Ventral part of the head of pancreas was resected. A side-to-side pancreaticojejunoanastomosis was formed with single-layer continuous sutures using nonabsorbable materials. The pancreaticojejunoanastomosis was covered additionally with a strand of greater omentum.

The operating time was 660 minutes. Blood loss was 600 ml. There was no complication. The postoperative stay period was 6 days. The follow-up is 2 months. Patient is pain free.

Laparoscopic Frey procedure was performed in patient (male) with chronic pancreatitis type C (classification of M.Buchler). The age of the patient was 46 years. The size of the pancreatic head was 32 mm, the diameter of the main pancreatic duct was 8 mm. After the pancreas mobilization and visualization vena mesanterica superior the head of the pancreas was stitched with the stay sutures on the border of resection. The main pancreatic duct was opened with the unipolar coagulator or an active branch of the Harmonic scalpel. Ventral part of the head of pancreas was resected. A side-to-side pancreaticojejunoanastomosis was formed with single-layer continuous sutures using nonabsorbable materials. The pancreaticojejunoanastomosis was covered additionally with a strand of greater omentum in nine cases.

The operating time was 320 minutes. Blood loss was 20 ml. There was no conversion and complications in post-operative period. The length of postoperative days was 4 days.
