35 consecutive pancreatic trauma were operated (21 blunt trauma and 14 penetrating injuries). 30 patients were operated in emergency and diagnosis was suspected before laparotomy in only one case. 12 patients had a superficial lesion, 21 had a wirsung disruption (14 in the left pancreas, 7 in the right pancreas), 2 had a diffuse pancreatitis. For the 30 patients operated in emergency, 20 had a conservative treatment, 10 had a resection. 5 patients died (14.2%), from exsanguination (2 cases), missed diagnosis or inadequate treatment (2 cases), sepsis after adequate management (1 case). Our experience suggests that an aggressive diagnosis management in emergency, with pre or pre-operative wirsungography, could determined with precision the type of the lesion and permit an adequate management, to decrease mortality.
