Conservative surgical management of pancreatic injuries.
Seven cases of pancreatic injuries of various severity ranging from grade I to grade IV treated by closed tube drainage are presented. Only one patient developed pancreatico-duodenal fistula postoperatively which was managed conservatively and closed within four weeks. Simple drainage is a satisfactory method in the treatment of pancreatic injuries.
