Don’t mess with the pancreas! A multicenter analysis of the management of low-grade pancreatic injuries

Abstract: INTRODUCTION:Current guidelines recommend nonoperative management (NOM) of low-grade (American Association for the Surgery of Trauma-Organ Injury Scale Grade I-II) pancreatic injuries (LGPIs), and drainage rather than resection for those undergoing operative management, but they are based on low-quality evidence. The purpose of this study was to review the contemporary management and outcomes of LGPIs and identify risk factors for morbidity. METHODS:Multicenter retrospective review of diagnosis, management, an… Show more

“…This includes not only the patency of the duct but also its alignment. More specifically, injury to the main pancreatic duct results in the leakage of significant volumes of pancreatic enzymes into the surrounding tissues 3–5 . This injury-related morphology is fundamentally different from lower-grade injuries to the pancreatic parenchyma that disrupt only minor ducts 5 .…”

“…The ubiquitous screening computed tomography (CT) remains insufficient to reliably and accurately identify main pancreatic ductal injuries in the immediate setting (Table 1). 2,5 This challenge is also influenced by the observation that the pancreas-specific experience of the CT-interpreting clinician strongly impacts their ability to detect an associated pancreatic main duct injury 7 …”
