Case: A 30-year-old male involved in a traffic accident was brought to our hospital. He was in shock with a rigid abdomen, and a computed tomography scan showed severe pancreatoduodenal injury. He was successfully treated with damage control surgery consisting of peripancreatic packing at the initial surgery followed by a two-stage pancreaticoduodenectomy. Outcome: The postoperative course was complicated by a hepatic abscess, but there were no pancreaticoduodenectomy-related complications. The patient was transferred to a local hospital on postoperative day 55. Conclusion: Three step strategy consisting of peripancreatic packing followed by a two-stage pancreaticoduodenectomy is an effective treatment strategy for severe pancreatoduodenal injury.
