title: [Posttraumatic duodenal lesions in children. The therapeutic considerations].
abstract: The posttraumatic lesions of the duodenum in children represent rare cases in the surgical field. 4 cases of duodenal lesions were registered and operated upon in the Pediatric Surgery and Orthopedic Clinic, in cooperation with the ICU Clinic, 2 of them having postoperative complications (duodenal fistulae), these cases being initially situated in a retroperitoneal position (lateral and posterior). The ICU therapy was directed in the first step towards the traumatic and septic shock, in the second one to the immediate postoperative care and in the third step towards late complications. For the 2 cases having postoperative complications, the care was directed towards the elements of local complications (retroperitoneal abscess, fistulae), MSOF, sustaining the immune system correcting the nutritional deficiencies. Surgical methods used for sustaining the ICU therapy were: endovenous catheterisation, gastro-duodenal aspiration, solving the fistulae through catheters and suture. The results, using the methods described above, were good.
