Objective:
To study treatment outcomes in patients with traumatic bowel injury in peacetime.
Material And Methods:
A retrospective study involved 27 patients with traumatic bowel injury who underwent surgery at Botkin Hospital in 2016-2024. All patients were delivered to the shock room of the emergency department for initial examination. In 25 cases, we performed contrast-enhanced CT before surgery; 2 patients were sent to the operating theater immediately.
Results:
Primary repair of small bowel was performed in 4 patients, small bowel resection - in 12 patients, colon resection - in 8 patients. Primary anastomosis was formed in 12 cases, ileostomy/colostomy - in 11 patients. Risk factors for primary anastomosis are unstable hemodynamics requiring inotropic support; massive transfusion therapy; fecal contamination of abdominal cavity; more than 6-hour preoperative period.
Conclusion:
Available experience, damage control surgery and necessary reconstruction of bowel continuity inspired own treatment algorithm for this category of patients to reduce morbidity and mortality.
