Judgment at the edge
Abstract
Pancreaticoduodenal injuries impacting associated major vascular surrounding structures occupy a well-established unforgiving anatomic challenge. Although rare, these humbling injuries require expeditious identification combined with precise judgment. This is especially critical when patients display imminent physiologic compromise. The approach under unplanned circumstances requires not just technical expertise but experienced judgment, surgical restraint and perhaps most importantly, multidisciplinary leadership and early involvement.1
