ABSTRACT
The experience met with in the management of 76 cases of venous injuries [both major abdominal and extremity veins] is presented in this study. The majority of cases [52.6%] were diagnosed secondary to the associated arterial injury. 25% percent were diagnosed by the presence of excessive bleeding and nonpulsating hematoma [17.1%]. Repair of the injured veins was done in the majority of cases [89.4%] mostly by lateral suture or autogenous vein patch [46.6%]. Ligature or nonoperative management was done in 10.6% in special situations. The overall incidence of complications was low, mild oedema [[9.2%], major morbidity [11.8%] and mortality [2.6%] and occurred mainly in patients who had their veins ligated
