ABSTRACT
The case of a 22-year-old male who underwent spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) for pancreatic trauma is briefly reported. SPDP was performed by preserving the splenic vessels to maintain a reliable splenic blood flow post-operatively. Although technically demanding, this procedure can be performed safely and easily in the emergency, and avoids splenectomy-related problems in the post-operative period.
