traumatismes doudeno-pancreatiques, a propos de 14 cas

ABSTRACT

Through a series of 14 cases brought over a period of 12 years, we realized a retrospective, analytical and descriptive study of these traumata. We aimed to release recommendations to improve their management. It was 2 women and 12 men, whose mean age was 24.4 years [extremes 50 and 60 years], divided into 10 pancreatic injuries, 2 duodenal injuries and 2 duodeno-pancreatic injuries. Etiology was dominated by traffic accidents 7 cases [50%]. Trauma was closed in 13 cases [92%]. -Associated lesions were present among 13 patients [92%]. The traumatism appeared by an urgent surgical abdomen among 9 patients, secondarily in 3 cases, tardily in 2 cases a case of deep suppuration 3 months after a traumata treated into ambulatory and a case of persistent ascites after a past unperceived traumata. Abdominal ultrasonography was made among 4 patients. It allowed diagnosing only a case. Scanner was made among 4 patients. It allowed diagnosing all the cases. Only a patient was treated medically, it was a post-traumatic acute pancreatitis. Surgical treatment was made in 13 cases conservative in 7 cases and radical in 6 cases. Follow-up was complicated in 11 cases [78%] and non-complicated in 3 cases. Mortality rate was 7.1%
