Zusammenfassung:We report an unusual case of pancreatic fistula after transperitoneal laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy. A 43 years old male patient presented with severe abdominal pain and abdominal distension 71 day after the surgery.

The treatment, which comprised percutaneous drainage led to a closure of the fistula 20 days after therapy.
