Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Diagnostics

Context:

  • Blunt pancreatic fractures are uncommon but severe injuries.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to associated trauma.
  • Management requires careful consideration of injury severity and patient condition.

Purpose:

  • To report on seven cases of blunt pancreatic fractures.
  • To highlight diagnostic and treatment complexities.
  • To emphasize the severity of these injuries.

Summary:

  • Seven cases of blunt pancreatic fracture were analyzed retrospectively.
  • Diagnosis was delayed in most cases due to associated injuries.
  • Treatment options included left splenopancreatectomy, necrosectomy with drainage, or non-operative management.

Impact:

  • Blunt pancreatic fractures are serious lesions requiring timely diagnosis.
  • Left splenopancreatectomy is indicated for ductal rupture when feasible.
  • External drainage is a secondary option when splenopancreatectomy is not possible.
