[Duodenal injuries]

Experience with the treatment of 33 patients with injuries of the duodenum is presented: 17 patients with ruptures of the duodenum, 16 patients with wounds. Post-operative complications were developed in 21 patients, 13 patients died. The two-row suture of the wound and decompression by nasogastroduodenal probe are considered by the authors to be the adequate operation for most of the patients.
