Repair of Main Pancreatic Duct Injury during Surgery for Congenital Biliary Dilatation in a Child: A Case Report

Introduction

In surgery for congenital biliary dilatation, it is essential to minimize residual intrapancreatic bile duct tissue to prevent future complications, such as intrapancreatic stones and carcinogenesis. However, dissection of the intrapancreatic bile duct is technically demanding and may result in injury to the main pancreatic duct. As a result, very few cases have been reported regarding the management of this complication in pediatric patients. We present a pediatric case of intraoperative main pancreatic duct injury and describe its surgical management.
