Results of Surgical Treatment of Patients With Pancreatic Injuries

Abstract

The analysis of 12 cases of surgical treatment of young male patients, with injuries of the pancreas is presented. By the nature of the injuries, half of the patients had gunshot injuries, and 4 had blunt injuries, 2 patients with stab and slash wound. All injuries were combined; with severity grades I–III according to AAST classification. All patients underwent laparoscopic procedures. In one patient distal pancreatectomy was performed, whereas in 7 patients the appropriate sutured closure and in 4 patients drainage closure were performed. In one patient, we used a gastric transplant on a vascular pedicle. This case is of particular interest, so we presented it separately.
