Abstract. A 71-year-old woman with a solitary mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreatic tail complained of back pain. A laproscopic distal pancreatectomy was performed. Laparosonic coagulating shears (LCS) were employed for dissection of the surrounding tissue and transection of the pancreas. The main pancreatic duct was clipped. There was no evidence of bleeding or pancreatic leakage from the transection surface. Pathologic examination showed the tumor to be a mucinous cystadenoma. The postoperative course was uneventful. The LCS was effective in this application.
