Abstract

Antecedentes: La pancreatitis es una enfermedad rara. La obstrucción es común y se puede corregir con endoscopia; si fracasa, necesitará cirugía.

Caso clínico: Reportamos un paciente con pancreatitis secundaria a páncreas divisum. Se realizó derivación tipo DuVal laparoscópica. Varón de 12 años, con múltiples cuadros de pancreatitis y fallidos intentos de esfinteroplastias. La colangiorresonancia mostró páncreas divisum. Se realizó una derivación tipo DuVal por laparoscopia. Seguimiento de 5 años. No ha habido recurrencia del dolor y la lipasa se normalizó a los 6 meses. El conducto pancreático no estaba dilatado. Ante la dificultad para hacer una anastomosis lateral se utilizó la técnica laparoscópica propuesta por DuVal.

Background: Pancreatitis is rare. Obstruction is common. They can be corrected with endoscopy, if they fail they need surgery.

Case report: We reported a patient with pancreatitis secondary to pancreas divisum, laparoscopic DuVal shunt was performed. Male 12 years, multiple pancreatitis pictures and failed sphinteroplasty attempts. Colangio resonance showed pancreas divisum. A DuVal-type shunt was built for laparoscopy. Follow-up 5 years. There has been no recurrence of pain and lipase was normalized at 6 months. The pancreatic duct was not dilated, in the face of difficulty making a lateral anastomosis was used the technique proposed by DuVal by laparoscopic approach.
