Pediatric abdominal injury management has evolved, favoring nonoperative care for solid organ injuries. This review addresses concerns and highlights multidisciplinary approaches for complex biliary and pancreatic ductal injuries in children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • The management of pediatric major abdominal injuries has seen significant evolution over the last two decades.
  • A shift towards surgical restraint and increased understanding of anatomy and physiology has enabled successful nonoperative care for many solid organ injuries in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of pediatric abdominal injury treatment.
  • To address controversies and concerns regarding nonoperative management strategies.
  • To highlight the increasing role of interventional radiology and endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical experience and existing literature.
  • Discussion of multidisciplinary treatment approaches for complex injuries.
