| PubMedID- 26380126 | There are three theories about the occurrence of acute pancreatitis in diaphragmatic hernia: (1) abnormal traction on the pancreas, total incarceration of the gland in hernia without pancreatic volvulus [12], (2) migration of the pancreas through a hernia sac and repetitive trauma as it crosses the hernia [13], and (3) ischemia associated with stretching of pancreatic vascular pedicle and intermittent folding of the main pancreatic duct [14]. |
