title: Use of a controlled duodenal fistula in the management of a major duodenal injury.
abstract: The management of a major duodenal injury associated with gross peritoneal contamination caused by multiple colonic perforations is reported. Resection of devitalized duodenum with creation of a controlled duodenal fistula, a jejunostomy and three colostomies, together with subsequent reconstruction, led to a successful outcome.
