Insights
Traumatic pancreatic duct injuries are rare but severe. A novel endoscopic stent treatment successfully managed a child's complete main pancreatic duct disruption.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Traumatic pancreatic injuries are uncommon, with severity directly linked to main pancreatic duct (MPD) involvement.
- Complete MPD disruption poses significant management challenges, particularly in pediatric cases.
Observation:
- A 5-year-old child sustained a complete disruption of the main pancreatic duct due to trauma.
- The injury presented a critical challenge requiring innovative therapeutic approaches.
Findings:
- Successful endoscopic management of complete MPD disruption was achieved using a double pigtail stent.
- This minimally invasive approach facilitated ductal healing and restored pancreatic function.
Implications:
- Endoscopic stenting offers a viable, less invasive alternative for pediatric traumatic pancreatic duct injuries.
- This case highlights the potential of interventional endoscopy in managing complex pediatric surgical conditions.
Abstract:
Traumatic pancreatic injuries are rare: their severity correlates with main pancreatic duct involvement. We report the case of a 5-year-old child who presented with complete disruption of the main pancreatic duct, treated successfully with an endoscopically inserted double pigtail stent.
