From: Duodeno-pancreatic and extrahepatic biliary tree trauma: WSES-AAST guidelines
Grade | WSES class | Organ | AAST | Description of injury |
---|---|---|---|---|
Minor | WSES class I | Pancreas | I–II | - Minor contusion without duct injury Superficial laceration without duct injury - Major contusion without duct injury or tissue loss Major laceration without duct injury or tissue loss |
Duodenum | I | - Hematoma involving a single portion of duodenum Laceration: partial thickness, no perforation | ||
Extrahepatic biliary three | I–II–III | - Gallbladder contusion/hematoma. Portal triad contusion - Partial gallbladder avulsion from liver bed; cystic duct intact. Laceration or perforation of the gallbladder - Complete gallbladder avulsion from liver bed. Cystic duct laceration | ||
Moderate | WSES class II | Pancreas | III | - Distal transection or parenchymal injury with duct injury |
Duodenum | II | - Hematoma involving more than one portion Laceration with disruption of less than 50% of circumference | ||
Extrahepatic biliary three | IV | Partial or complete right hepatic duct laceration Partial or complete left hepatic duct laceration Partial common hepatic duct laceration (< 50%) Partial common bile duct laceration (< 50%) | ||
Severe | WSES class III | Pancreas | IV–V | - Proximal transection or parenchymal injury involving ampulla - Massive disruption of pancreatic head |
Duodenum | III–IV–V | - Disruption 50–75% of circumference of D2 Disruption 50–100% of circumference of D1, D3, and D4 - Disruption > 75% of circumference of D2 involving ampulla or distal common bile duct - Massive disruption of duodeno-pancreatic complex Devascularization of duodenum | ||
Extrahepatic biliary three | V | > 50% transection of common hepatic duct > 50% transection of common bile duct Combined right and left hepatic duct injuries Intraduodenal or intrapancreatic bile duct injuries | ||
WSES class IV | Any | Any | Any degree of lesion with hemodynamic instability |
