Area of Science:

  • Gastrointestinal surgery
  • Trauma surgery

Background:

  • Duodenal injuries present significant lethal potential.
  • Severity, associated injuries, diagnosis, and repair adequacy influence outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review principles for managing duodenal trauma.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical repair.

Main Methods:

  • Review of duodenal trauma management principles.
  • Discussion of a classification scheme for operative repair selection.

Main Results:

  • High index of suspicion is vital for blunt abdominal trauma.
  • Aggressive approach detects most penetrating duodenal injuries.
  • Careful operative repair selection is mandated by duodenal anatomy/physiology.

Conclusions:

  • Adherence to management principles leads to acceptable morbidity and mortality.
  • Tailored surgical repair is key to successful duodenal injury treatment.
