  • Title: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for blunt injury to the pancreas. A case report.
    Author: Sayad P, Cacchione R, Ferzli G.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 2001 Jul; 15(7):759. PubMed ID: 11591991.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic pancreatic resection has not been reported for traumatic injuries to the pancreas. We present the case of a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy performed on a 10-year-old boy after he sustained a distal transection of the pancreas due to blunt abdominal trauma. The spleen and its vessels were preserved. The patient was sent home on postoperative day 3 without any postoperative complications. Performing an advanced laparoscopic pancreatic procedure is feasible, in the trauma setting, particularly in children.
