Background: Pancreatic trauma is reportedly associated with high morbidity and mortality. Main pancreatic duct (MPD) injury is critical for treatment. Methods: As a study project of the Japanese Society for Abdominal Emergency Medicine (JSAEM), we collected the data of 163 patients with pancreatic trauma who were diagnosed and treated at JSAEM board-certified hospitals from 2006 to 2016. Clinical backgrounds, diagnostic approaches, management strategies, and outcomes were evaluated. Results: Sixty-four patients (39%) were diagnosed as having pancreatic trauma with MPD injury that resulted in 3% mortality. Blunt trauma and isolated pancreatic injury were independent factors predicting MPD injury. Nine of 11 patients with MPD injury who were initially treated nonoperatively had serious clinical sequelae and five (45%) required surgery as a secondary treatment. Among all cases, the detectability of MPD injury of endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) was superior to that of other imaging modalities (CT or MRI), with higher sensitivity and specificity (sensitivity = 0.96; specificity = 1.0). Conclusions: Acceptable outcomes were observed in pancreatic trauma patients with MPD injury. Nonoperative management should be carefully selected for MPD injury. ERP is recommended to be performed in patients with suspected MPD injury and stable hemodynamics.

“…Pancreatic trauma is an uncommon but important concern with a mortality rate of 3-70% in adult patients [1,2]. It accounts for 1-2% of blunt abdominal trauma and 5-7% of penetrating abdominal trauma.…”
Background: Pancreatic trauma results in significant morbidity and mortality. Few studies have investigated the postoperative prognostic factors in patients with pancreatic trauma after surgery. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 152 consecutive patients with pancreatic trauma who underwent surgery in Jinling Hospital, a national referral trauma center in China, from January 2012 to December 2019. Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the perioperative clinical parameters that may affect the morbidity of the patients. Results: A total of 184 patients with pancreatic trauma were admitted during the study period, and 32 patients with nonoperative management were excluded. The remaining 152 patients underwent laparotomy due to pancreatic trauma. Sixty-four patients were referred from other centers due to postoperative complications. Abdominal bleeding caused by pancreatic leakage ( 10 of all deaths) and severe intra-abdominal infection (12 of all deaths) were the major causes of mortality. Twenty-eight (77.8%) of the 36 patients who had damage control laparotomy survived. Univariate analysis showed that age, hemodynamic status, and injury severe score (ISS) as well as postoperative serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, albumin and creatinine and the volume of intraoperative blood transfusion had significant effects on the mortality ( P <0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for prognosis after pancreatic trauma surgery were age ( P =0.012), preoperative hemodynamic instability ( P =0.018), postoperative CPR ≥154 mg/L ( P =0.016), and postoperative serum creatinine ≥177 μmol/L ( P =0.017). The 30-day mortality rate was 15.8%. Conclusions: In this single-center retrospective study, we first demonstrated that severe intra-abdominal infection and bleeding were the major factors affecting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic trauma after surgery. Preoperative hemodynamic instability, severe postoperative inflammation (CRP ≥154 mg/L) and acute renal failure (creatinine ≥177 μmol/L) were associated with a significant risk of mortality.
Background Pancreatic injury is rare, but it has a high mortality rate and its optimal treatment remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes of patients with blunt pancreatic injury. Methods This retrospective cohort study was performed on patients with a confirmed blunt pancreatic injury who were admitted to our hospital from March 2008 to December 2020. The clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients receiving different management strategies were compared. The risk factors for in-hospital mortality were evaluated by performing a multivariate regression analysis. Results A total of 98 patients diagnosed with blunt pancreatic injury were identified, with 40 patients having undergone nonoperative treatment (NOT) and 58 patients having undergone surgical treatment (ST). The overall inhospital deaths were 6 (6.1%), including 2 (5.0%) and 4 (6.9%) in the NOT and ST groups, respectively. Pancreatic pseudocysts occurred in 15 (37.5%) and 3 (5.2%) of the NOT and ST groups, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups (P \ 0.001). In the multivariate regression analysis, concomitant duodenal injury (OR = 14.42, 95% CI 1.27-163.52; P = 0.031) and sepsis (OR = 43.47, 95% CI,; P = 0.002) were independently associated with in-hospital mortality. Conclusions Except for the higher incidence of pancreatic pseudocysts in the NOT group than in the ST group, there were no significant differences in the other clinical outcomes between the two groups. Concomitant duodenal injury and sepsis were the risk factors for in-hospital mortality.
