ASENSIO, Juan A; PETRONE, Patrizio; KIMBRELL, Brian e KUNCIR, Eric. Duodenal trauma. Technique and management. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2006, vol.21, n.1, pp.4-14. ISSN 2011-7582.
Traumatic lesions of the duodenum are not frequent, representing around 4% of all abdominal lesions. However, they are associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates and, therefore, it becomes of utmost importance their early recognition and treatment. The aim of this paper is to present a concise historical perspective and description of the anatomy of this organ. Anatomy is important because of the need to classify these lesions in preparation for their management. We also describe the diagnostic modalities and discuss the value of an ample knowledge of the different surgical techniques that are more generally utilized. Lastly, we analyze the ranges of morbidity and mortality based upon an extensive review of the current literature, adding our experience at an Urban Trauma Center Level I.
