The most commonly affected organs are liver and spleen. Usually pancreatic injury is associated with injury to adjoining organ. Early detection of pancreatic injury is very important as if not treated properly it can lead to devastating complications. The management of pancreatic injuries ranges from non-operative to pancreatico-duodenectomy. Grading of the injury as per the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) helps in deciding about the management.
