Pancreatic injury is a relatively rare and result in significant morbidity and mortality. Estimates for the incidence of pancreatic injury range from 0.2-12% of abdominal traumas. Many factors, such as patient stability, the acuity of concomitant life-threatening injuries, and the need for damage control procedures must therefore be balanced when considering the proper approach to pancreatic injury management. However, few prospective studies have investigated the perioperative management of patients with pancreatic trauma.
