Abstract Pancreatic trauma accounts for 0.4% - 2.0% of all trauma-related injuries worldwide [1-3] . The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) categorizes pancreatic injury according to the severity [4] . Pancreatic injury involving transection of the gland (grades III to V) typically requires surgical management [4] . However, pancreatic trauma, especially in children and young adults, can be managed without surgery [5] . This study reports the outcome of a policy of preferential non-operative management of pancreatic trauma in adults.
