  • Title: [Post traumatic injuries of the duodenum and/or pancreas. Perioperative management].
    Author: Beye MD, Kane O, Diouf E, Ndoye MD, Ndiaye PI, Fall B, Sall BK.
    Journal: Dakar Med; 2002; 47(1):27-9. PubMed ID: 15776587.
    Abstract:
    The duodenal and/or pancreatic lesions rarely occur during abdominal contusions, this, because of the deep and retroperitoneal position of the duodeno-pancreatic entity. These lesions occur mostly in the young adults and occur mostly on violent trauma, hence the high frequency of associated lesions. Their management is well codified and the prognosis depends on the degree of pancreatic damage. The authors reporting of 3 cases of duodenaland or post-traumatic lesion, in a retrospective study. The after therapeutic management necessitated a pre-operative reanimation, simple duodenal suturing in the 3 cases with relearning gastrotomy, alimentation jejenostomy and closing of thepyloric sphincter,with association of cholostomy in one of the cases. The pancreatic lesions of type contusion observed in 2 cases necessitated simple drainage of the pancreatic sector without resection. The evolution was favourable in 2 cases. One case of death was noted in a patient who developed acute pancreatis.
