title: [Abdominal trauma with injuries of the major vessels].
abstract: Treatment results in 87 patients (mean age 30.1 years) with traumatic injuries of major abdominal vessels were analyzed. 73 patients had stab-incised wounds, 9--blunt trauma, 5--gunshot wounds. Hemodynamics of the majority of hospitalized patients (66 from 87) was unstable. Inferior cava vein injury was revealed in 29 patients, aorta injury--in 21, iliac vessels injury--in 22, visceral vessels injury--in 15. One vascular wall was injured in 58 cases, two walls--in 27 cases, complete transection or separation of vessel was revealed in 6 cases. Major vessel injuries were associated with abdominal visceral trauma in 97% cases. Vascular operations (side suture--in 49 patients, circular suture--in 11, vein ligation--in 5, prosthesis--in 3) were performed in 17 (25%) patients by general surgeons, in the rest (75%)--by vascular surgeons. General mortality (including hospitalized but non-operated patients, and patients who died during the operation and in postoperative period) was 46%. It is necessary to teach vascular surgery to general surgeons for high-quality and timely care in patients with abdominal trauma complicated by major vessels injuries.
