Duodenostomy to Treat Duodenal Perforation

University of Foggia5 enrolled

Overview

In this study the investigators focused on duodenal perforations, requiring a tube duodenostomy and have analyzed the main features, that have influenced the surgical choices. Five patients were enrolled. Most of duodenal perforations can successfully be managed by simple repair, while complicated procedures are needed for complex injuries. Tube duodenostomy is a damage control procedure, for large duodenal perforations when further repair techniques are not recommended due to the duodenal damage, hemodynamic instability of the patient or the absence of surgical expertise for complex reconstruction.
