Pancreatic injury comprises the fourth most common injury among the solid organs and cases accompanied by rupture of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) present a further challenge for physicians (Fayza Haider et al.; Wood et al., 2010; Jobst et al., 1999; Grosfeld et al., 2006).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n Two adolescents, both 13 years old, where referred to our Pediatric Hospital, due to blunt force abdominal trauma. During admission, both patients were hemodynamically stable, in good general condition but suffering from abdominal pain and vomiting. After a full diagnostic check-up, grade IV pancreatic injury was diagnosed in both patients and they were taken to the operation room 3 and 6 days post-injury. Intra-operatively a distal pancreatectomy along with splenectomy was performed in both cases, with catheterization and ligation of the main pancreatic duct. Both patients were admitted to the pediatric ICU for 2 and 4 days. Both made an uneventful recovery and remain well 6 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n While hemodynamically stable, patients with Grade IV pancreatic injury, benefit from sub-acute management, allowing for planning of the surgical intervention. Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, along with catheterization and ligation of the main pancreatic duct, has excellent post-operative results.<\/jats:p>\n The chief of the Pediatric Hospital, said that in 35 years at pediatric surgery, is the first time with the need of operative management, in pancreatic injury. The hepatobiliary surgical expert in adults, who was consulted in both cases, said that without the surgeries, both children were going to die.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.10.008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,7]],"date-time":"2020-10-07T11:54:46Z","timestamp":1602071686000},"page":"293-296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Distal pancreatectomy after pancreatic injury, in two pediatric patients"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Theodoros","family":"Hadjizacharias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Kaliviotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Kottakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orestis","family":"Pavlides","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitra","family":"Papalouka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Polydorou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-69-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"401","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2009.10.095","article-title":"Operative vs nonoperative management of blunt pancreatic trauma in children","volume":"45","author":"Wood","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
