title: [Duodeno-pancreatic trauma. About 14 cases].
abstract: Through a series of 14 cases brought over a period of 12 years, we realized a retrospective, analytical and descriptive study of these traumatisms. We aimed to release recommendations to improve their management. It was 2 women and 12 men, whom 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 traumatism treated into ambulatory and a case of persistent ascites after a past unperceived traumatism. 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%.
