[Traumatic duodenal rupture].
Traumatic duodenal perforation has an incidence of 1%-17% (blunt injury) or 1.7%-5% (penetrating injury). Its prognosis correlates to the kind of injury, associated injuries, size of perforation and delayed diagnosis. Mortality in cases of delayed repair is 65% compared with 5% mortality in early repaired perforation. In cases of delayed diagnosis, we recommend drainage of the perforation, naso-duodenal suction tube, parenteral alimentation. 5 patients where diagnosis was delayed for 8 days or longer were treated in this way and the duodenal wound healed completely without any complications within 22-44 days.
