Core Tip
Core Tip: This case report detailed the development of a novel surgical approach by our team for the treatment of pancreatic duct stones, drawing on the contributions of previous researchers. For patients with multiple pancreatic duct stones complicated by pancreatic duct dilatation, this surgical approach can maximize the removal of pancreatic duct stones, reduce the risk of stone recurrence, and alleviate postoperative pain.
