ABSTRACT
CONTEXT AND

OBJECTIVES:

Significant controversy exists regarding the best surgical treatment for complex duodenal injuries. The aims of this study were to report on a series of eight cases of duodenal repairs using pyloric exclusion and to describe reported complications or improvements in clinical outcomes among patients with complex duodenal trauma. DESIGN AND

SETTING:

Cross-sectional study followed by a case series in a university hospital.

METHODS:

Data on eight patients with duodenal trauma who underwent pyloric exclusion over a 17.5 year period were collected and analyzed.

RESULTS:

The causes of the injuries included penetrating gunshot wounds (GSW) in five patients and motor vehicle accidents (blunt trauma) in three patients. The time elapsed until surgery was longer in the blunt trauma group, while in one patient, the gunshot injury was initially missed and thus the procedure was carried out 36 hours after the original injury. The injuries were grade III (50 percent) or IV (50 percent) and the morbidity rate was 87.5 percent. Four patients (50 percent) died during the postoperative period from complications, including hypovolemic shock (one patient), sepsis (peritonitis following the missed injury) and pancreatitis with an anastomotic fistula (two patients).

CONCLUSIONS:

Pyloric exclusion was associated with multiple complications and a high mortality rate. This surgical technique is indicated for rare cases of complex injury to the duodenum and the surgeon should be aware that treatment with a minimalistic approach, with only primary repair, may be ideal.
RESUMO
CONTEXTO E

OBJETIVOS:

Há controvérsias a respeito do melhor tratamento cirúrgico para as lesões duodenais complexas. O objetivo deste estudo é relatar uma série de oito casos de reparo duodenal utilizando a exclusão pilórica e descrever a evolução dos pacientes com trauma duodenal complexo submetidos a este procedimento. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL Estudo transversal e descrição de série de casos em hospital universitário.

MÉTODOS:

Foram coletadas e analisadas as informações de oito pacientes com trauma duodenal submetidos à exclusão pilórica em um período de 17,5 anos.

RESULTADOS:

Os mecanismos de trauma envolvidos foram ferimentos por projétil de arma de fogo em cinco pacientes e acidente automobilístico em três pacientes. O atraso do tratamento cirúrgico foi maior nos pacientes vítimas de trauma fechado, e em um paciente a lesão pelo projétil passou despercebida, sendo o procedimento cirúrgico realizado em nova laparotomia após 36 horas. As lesões duodenais encontradas foram grau III (50 por cento) ou grau IV (50 por cento), e a taxa de morbidade foi de 87,5 por cento. Quatro pacientes (50 por cento) morreram durante o período pós-operatório, de complicações como choque hipovolêmico (um caso), sepse (peritonite por ferimento não identificado), ou pancreatite associada à fístula da anastomose (dois casos).

CONCLUSÕES:

A exclusão pilórica esteve associada à alta taxa de morbimortalidade. Esta técnica cirúrgica deve ser indicada em poucos casos de lesão complexa de duodeno e o cirurgião deve saber que, frente a uma lesão duodenal, a sutura primária pode ser o melhor tratamento.
