Overview
In spite of being relatively rare, pancreatic injuries can have very serious consequences; morbidity and mortality of more severe pancreatic injuries that have not been recognized early and treated adequately is almost 100%.
We present the case of a 39-year-old man who sustained a stab wound (knife) that resulted in injuries to the vena cava inferior and right-sided renal vein, and cut through the duodenum, common bile duet, major pancreatic duet, and pancreatic head. This condition was treated initially by obtaining hemostasis – suture of the inferior vena cava and right-side renal vein, mobilization and tamponade of the pancreatic head, and ensuring drainage of bile through bile ducts, and then with proximal pancreatoduodenectomy.
Key words:
pancreas – duodenum – pancreatic injury – panereatoduodenectomy
