Özet
It is very difficult to determine and treat injury of the main pancreatic duct and its outcomes secondary to blunt abdominal trauma. In this study, we present a 21-year-old male patient with percutaneous pancreatic fistula due to blunt pancreatic damage. We defined the pancreatic duct disruption along with contrast media leakage by means of endoscopic retrograde pancreatography. A pancreatic duct stent placed after a nasopancreatic catheter was left for 10 weeks. Closure of the fistula along with pancreatic duct improvement without any additional morbidity was observed after removal of the stent. Copyright © by Association of Military Surgeons of U.S., 2007.
