Summary
This study analyzed 221 patients with stomach injuries, finding that organ closure is the primary treatment for open injuries. While complications and lethality were observed, most patients achieved good or satisfactory long-term results.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Trauma Surgery
Context:
- Analysis of 221 patients with stomach injuries (IS), aged 3.5 to 71 years.
- Predominance of open IS (95.9%) over closed IS (4.1%).
- Isolated injuries accounted for 38.5% of cases.
Purpose:
- To analyze treatment outcomes for stomach injuries.
- Evaluate the efficacy of organ closure as the primary surgical method.
- Assess the incidence of surgical errors, complications, and long-term results.
Summary:
- Organ closure was the main operative treatment in 92.8% of patients.
- Surgical errors occurred in 9.5% of cases, with postoperative complications in 33.9%.
- Overall lethality was 11.8%, with good (48.0%) and satisfactory (45.2%) long-term results reported.
Impact:
- Highlights the effectiveness of organ closure in managing stomach injuries.
- Identifies key areas for improvement in surgical techniques to reduce errors and complications.
- Provides valuable data on patient outcomes for trauma and surgical management of the stomach.
