Popis: A retrospective review of pancreatic injury is presented. Twenty-five cases in which the pancreatic injury was either the sole or major injury were selected from over 100 cases of pancreatic injury admitted during the period 1970 to 1977. Eight pancreatic injuries resulted from blunt trauma and 17 from penetrating trauma. Two methods of treatment were compared, drainage alone versus duodenal diverticularization and/or distal resection. There were no deaths. Of the 15 patients treated by drainage alone, 14 (93%) developed postoperative complications, as compared to 20% (two of ten patients) treated by diverticularization and/or distal resection.
