Abstract: | BACKGROUND: We present our experience with the rare injury of isolated major pancreatic duct disruption. METHODS: From 1997 to 2003, 3 females and 13 males whose age ranged from 4 to 46 years were identified. Stabs caused 2 and blunt trauma 14 injuries. Nine presented acutely. Delay occurred in 7 patients, 6 with pseudocysts and 1 with infected pancreatic necrosis. RESULTS: Nine cases were managed in the acute phase: 6 by splenic-preserving distal pancreatectomy and 2 by distal pancreatico-enteric anastomosis; 1 was drained. A small pseudocyst and transient pancreatic fistula were the only complications. The 6 cases with pseudocysts were managed endoscopically. Five were stented and 1 was drained without stent. Four had resolution. Two had stent cyst migration. One required a pancreaticojejunostomy and another distal pancreatectomy. One patient died of infected pancreatic necrosis. Long-term outcome could not be assessed. CONCLUSION: In the acute situation, resection or distal pancreatico-enteric anastomoses are attainable with low morbidity. Endoscopic pseudocyst management options are feasible, with good short-term resolution. Giant cysts may be better managed operatively. |
