[Gunshot injuries of the gastroduodenal region]. / Strelne povrede gastroduodenalne regije

The injuries of the abdomen and in the region of duodenum sustained through shooting, present a delicate and difficult problem in treatment. During the years 1970/74, 375 cases were treated in our clinic, out of which 38 patients were with abdominal injuries while 12 cases were with gastro-duodenal injuries all derived through shooting. Special delicate problems represent the treatment of pancreas injuries if only the tissue of the pancreas is only made with simple stitch. The difficulties represent the treatment of injuried principal duct. Every attempt of sewing the principal duct leads to mortal inflamation of the gland. The problem of treatment of this kind of injury, apart from using different methods which are recommended in the world literature still remains open and unsolved.
