Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: pancreatic trauma
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the best way to manage AAST grade III blunt pancreatic injury in children. AAST grade III refers to a specific severity of injury to the pancreas, an organ that helps with digestion and blood sugar regulation. The study aims to find out whether surgery or non-surgical methods lead to fewer complications.

Participants in the study will be assigned to one of two study arms: operative (surgery) or non-operative (no surgery). The procedures will involve monitoring the recovery process and any complications that may arise. The goal is to determine which method results in a quicker and safer recovery for children.

  • Who can participate: Children aged 5 to 18 years with AAST grade III blunt pancreatic injury may be eligible. Additional eligibility criteria include stable vital signs and no prior pancreatic surgery.
  • Study details: Participants will be assigned to either a surgical or non-surgical treatment arm. The study will monitor recovery times and any complications from the treatment.
