Abstract
Laparoscopic treatment of pancreatic trauma in children: 2 case reports
Highlights
Pancreatic injury is rare in children [1]
Particulary with Gr III-IV injury, have a high morbidity from pseudocysts needing repeated interventions that could lead to a prolonged hospital stay
Our preliminary experience supports that early interverntion, such as a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, is a good alterntive to conservative management of pancreatic duct disrubtions and seems to reduce morbidty and hospital stay
Summary
Pancreatic injury is rare in children [1]. The most common cause is blunt abdominal trauma from a bicycle handle bar. Classical presentation includes epigastric pain accompanied by episodes of vomiting [2]. There are two schools of thought; conservative (Gr I-IV) or surgical treatment (Gr III-V). Laparoscopic treatment, for grade III and IV injury, is increasingly becoming popular for children
