Objective  To summarize the experience of surgical diagnosis and management of patients with blunt pancreatic trauma. Methods  The clinical data of 15 patients with blunt pancreatic trauma who underwent surgical treatment in the Yuebei People’s Hospital from January 2019 to April 2021 were retrospectively collected. The injury causes, early diagnostic methods, surgical treatment results, and major complications of patients with blunt pancreatic trauma were analyzed. Results  The causes of blunt pancreatic trauma: traffic accident injury (seven patients), falling injury (four patients), impact injury (three patients), and crush injury (one patient). Organ Injury Scale grading system of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grading of pancreatic trauma: grade Ⅱ (five patients), grade Ⅲ (seven patients), grade Ⅳ (two patients), and grade Ⅴ (one patient). The patients whose serum amylase value was more than four times of reference value (104 U/L) or who underwent enhanced CT were diagnosed with pancreatic trauma before operation. Two patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, two patients underwent removal of peripancreatic hematoma+pancreaticojejunostomy, seven patients underwent distal pancreatectomy, two patients underwent suture hemostasis of pancreas, two patients underwent clearance and drainage of pancreatic necrosis. One patient died of combined injury and bleeding. Major complications: five patients suffered from biochemical leakage, three patients suffered from grade B and one patient suffered from grade C pancreatic fistula, one patient suffered from abdominal pseudoaneurysm and hemorrhage. Conclusions  The early diagnosis and grading of pancreatic injury should be combined with the history of injury, serum amylase level, and abdominal enhanced CT. Surgical intervention should be carried out as early as possible for high-grade pancreatic trauma.
