Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience in diagnosis and management for severe and complicated pancreatic trauma. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with severe pancreatic trauma treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 21 with a mean age of 26 (9-53), 14were male and 7 female. The causes of trauma were blunt injuries in 13 and patent injuries in 8 of them. The injury grade distribution for these patients was grade Ⅲ in 8 cases, grade Ⅳ in 8, and grade V in 3. The main diagnostic modalities included amylase measurement, ultrasonography, CT,endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) etc. All patients received surgical procedures. Roux-en-Y distal pancreatojejunostomy was performed in 10 patients, pancreatoduodenectomy in 3, modified duodenal diverticulization in 2, distal pancreatectomy in 3, tube installing in major duct and external drainage, and suture of pancreatic section in 2, and suture of two broken side respectively (delayed distal pancreatojejunostomy in the second time) in 1. Results Pancreatic injury was confirmed in 11 cases preoperatively and intraoperatively in the others. The early emergency operation was performed in 18 patients within 12hours, and delayed operation was done in 3 cases. Twenty patients were cured and 1 died after a procedure of pancreatoduodenectomy. The postoperative pancreatic fistula happened in 3 cases and recovered well with conservative line of management. Conclusion The diagnosis of severe and complicated pancreatic trauma is difficultly yet, so the earlier exploratory laparotomy should be suggested. The individual surgical modality based on the grade should be adopted in the operation and the concept of "Damage Control Surgery" should be carried out in the procedure. Extended operation should be avoided.
