title: [Injuries of the duodenum].
abstract: Based on an experience with treatment of 68 patients with injuries of the duodenum the authors have developed a diagnostic algorithm always permitting the diagnosis of injuries of the retroperitoneal part of the duodenum. A classification of severity of the duodenal injury was proposed determining the volume and type of surgery. Using the proposed therapeutic-diagnostic program decreased postoperative lethality from 52.4% to 11.8% in patients with wounds and from 60% to 13.4% in patients with closed injury of the duodenum.
