    Summary

    Duodenal injuries from abdominal trauma require specific surgical approaches. Minor injuries can be managed with suturing and nasogastric suction, while severe cases need resection and further decompression.

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Abdominal injuries frequently lead to surgical interventions.
    • Duodenal injuries present unique management challenges in trauma patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of duodenal injury in patients with abdominal trauma.
    • To evaluate treatment outcomes for duodenal injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 33 patients treated for abdominal injury.
    • Analysis of surgical interventions and post-operative management.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of duodenal injury was 2.71% among patients operated on for abdominal trauma.
    • Minor duodenal injuries were successfully treated with suturing and nasogastric suction.
    • Severe duodenal injuries necessitated resection and additional decompression via jejunostomy or gastrostomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Suturing and nasogastric suction are effective for minor duodenal injuries.
    • Resection with jejunostomy or gastrostomy is crucial for managing severe duodenal trauma.
    • Treatment strategies should be tailored to injury severity.
