Closed traumatism of the distal pancreas (A case series of 6 patients)

2024Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Closed traumatism of the distal pancreas, although rare, is a significant problem. It is often diagnosed during emergency laparotomy but can sometimes be found on preoperative CT scans. When the patient's condition permits, it is highly advisable to undergo a left pancreatectomy. Simple external drainage is reserved for certain specific situations.
