abstract: Bullet and stab wounds accounted for approximately 70% of penetrating jejunum and ileum injuries. Blunt injuries were the result of motor vehicle accidents. Injuries were most common in men in the 21-30-year age group. Treatment was by suture or resection. Complications related to the bowel injury occurred in 10 patients, and were the cause of death in 6 (3%).
