[Damage control surgery: the technique].
Abdominal packing and planned reoperation is a lifesaving technique for temporary control of haemorrhage in severely injured patients. Morbidity and mortality, however, remain significant. The purpose of this study is to evaluate all surgical technique and our results during 31 years of trauma surgery. In the last 12 years the Authors have performed 11 packing. They stressed fully "damage control technique" in trauma surgery in the last four years. Overall mortality was 45.5%.
