Abstract:
Objective To summarize the clinical features of pancreatic injury in children,and to explore the suitable methods for its diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis of children with pancreatic injury within the 15 years was carried out.Clinical injury severity and following-up data were collected.Correlationship between injury severity,treatment method and successful rate was analyzed.Results Eleven children aged 4 to 14 years old were diagnosed as pancreatic injury:two had GradeⅠinjury,three GradeⅡ,five GradeⅢ,and one GradeⅣ.CT scan was used in 7 children,and 5 had positive sign.Patients with GradeⅠand GradeⅡinjuries were successfully cured without surgery.Three children with GradeⅢinjury were initially treated without operation,but two developed a large symptomatic pseudocyst and were cared through operation,and another one died.The other two children with GradeⅢwho underwent a distal pancreatectomy cured without complications.A patient with GradeⅣinjury was treated by Berne operation and died. Conclusion The management of pancreatic injury in children should be individualized depending on diagnosis time and injury type.A repetitive CT scan was helpful within 24h after injury.Distal pancreatectomy was a safe and effective for those with GradeⅢinjury.
