title: [Pancreatic injuries].
abstract: Twenty patients were operated on for pancreatic trauma from 1960 to 1980. 8 (40%), without ductal lesions, were treated by drainage alone; 4 (20%) by distal resection; 3 (15%) by duodenal diversion; 1 by pancreatoduodenectomy and 1 by an anterior Roux-en-Y pancreatojejunostomy. Penrose and sump drains was used in all patients. Mortality rate was 20% (4 p.). Pancreas related complications occurred in 7 p. (35%). Particular emphasis is placed on general principles of management of pancreatic injuries to decrease mortality and morbidity.
