Description
Blunt abdominal trauma is the most common cause of pancreatic injury in children. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in a child with complete duct disruption has not been reported in the literature in children, although it has been well described in adults. Methods: In this paper report a case of a 7-year-old male, with grade 4 pancreatic trauma, who was treated nonoperatively in the acute phase and subsequently by laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy 3 months after the trauma. Discussion: Although in adults the surgical management of grade 3-4 pancreatic traumatic injury is well described, including the laparoscopic approach, no report of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was found in the literature. We would like to emphasize the importance of using a conservative management in the acute phase of pancreatic injury, including grade 4 injuries. After this phase, the use of the high-definition computed tomography scan and endoscopic retrograde pancreatography were fundamental. Conclusion: Magnification of laparoscopic technique allowed us to identify the structures much better than open surgery. © 2008 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
