Traumatic Pancreatic Injuryin paediatric patients Joint Hospital Surgical Grand Round Oct 2013 Dr WB Wong Tuen Mun Hospital
Epidemiology http://www.cobywootenlaw.com/bicycle-accidents/ • 4th most common solid organ injury following spleen, liver and kidneys • 3 to 12% of all trauma admissions • Causes: • Bicycle handlebar • Motor vehicle accident • Horse kicking • Penetrating injuries
Diagnosis • History, physical examination, X-ray • Serum markers • Contrast CT scan • ERCP and MRCP • Exploratory laparotomy • Suspected associated injuries • Hypotension • Peritonitis
Use of CT • Associated injuries • Uncertain sensitivity for ductal injuries • Features of ductal injury: • 50% laceration through the gland • Complete gland transection • Presence of early peripancreatic fluid collection
ERCP and MRCP • ERCP • Diagnose ductal injury • Pancreatic stent • Difficult procedure in paediatric patients • Risk of procedure • MRCP • Non-invasive • Use of secretin
Surgical exploration http://www.trauma.org/index.php/main/image/1028/ Indicator of ductal injuries: Direct visualizaion of injury Complete transection of gland Laceration of greater than ½ of gland Central perforation Severe maceration
American Assoication for the Surgery of Trauma Classification Pancreas Injury Scale Grade Type of Injury Description of Injury I Hematoma Minor contusion without duct injury Laceration Superficial laceration without duct injury II Hematoma Major contusion without duct injury or tissue loss Laceration Major laceration without duct injury or tissue loss III Laceration Distal transection or parenchymal injury with duct involvement IV Laceration Proximal transection or parenchymal injury involving ampulla V Laceration Massive disruption of pancreatic head *Advance one grade for multiple injuries up to grade III
Management • Conservative management for Grade I and II • Operative management for ductal injuries • Grade III: Distal pancreatectomy +/- spleen preservation • Grade IV: Pancreaticojejunostomy • Grade V: Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Paediatric patients http://www.templates.com/blog/come-up-smiling-amazing-3d-characters/ • Trivial injury • Delayed presentation • Isolated injury • Low mortality • Operative morbidity • Incidental splenectomy • Bowel obstruction • Abscess • Fistula
