  • Title: Spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy for blunt abdominal trauma--a case report.
    Author: Yadav TD, Khare R, Kaushik R.
    Journal: Trop Gastroenterol; 2002; 23(4):196-7. PubMed ID: 12833712.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 22-year-old male who underwent spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) for pancreatic trauma is briefly reported. SPDP was performed by preserving the splenic vessels to maintain a reliable splenic blood flow post-operatively. Although technically demanding, this procedure can be performed safely and easily in the emergency, and avoids splenectomy-related problems in the post-operative period.
