Abstract:
The authors describe a case of retroperitoneal rupture of the duodenum following blunt abdominal trauma. The aetiology, symptomatology of these lesions are discussed and treatment is stressed. Duodenal fistula continues to be a serious postoperative complication. Primary repair with drainage is the preferred treatment. Gastrostomy, internal decompression and feeding jejunostomy are usefully added in the most severe duodenal injuries.
