[Traumatic rupture of the pancreatic isthmus complicated by concomitant rupture of the duodenum and right kidney]. / Rottura traumatica dell'istmo pancreatico complicata da rotture concomitanti del duodeno e del rene destro.

The Authors describe a case of complete traumatic transection of the pancreatic isthmus associated with complete transection of the first portion of the duodenum and the isthmus of a horseshoe kidney. The treatment of the pancreatic lesion was intestinal drainage of the distal portion of the pancreas and closure of the proximal one. The authors stress the advantages and good outcome of the conservative operation, performed at an early stage, with the clinical indications and adequate surgical techniques.
