| heal.abstract | OBJECTIVE: To present our experience of mesenteric injuries after blunt abdominal trauma. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: University hospital, Greece. SUBJECTS: 31 patients with mesenteric injuries out of 333 who required operations for blunt abdominal trauma between March 1978 and March 1998. 21 were diagnosed within 6 hours (median 160 min, early group) and in 10 the diagnosis was delayed (median 21 hours, range 15 hours-7 days, delayed group). INTERVENTIONS: Emergency laparotomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mortality, morbidity, and hospital stay. RESULTS: There were no deaths. The diagnosis was confirmed by diagnostic peritoneal lavage in 17/21 patients in the early group whereas 7/10 in the delayed group were diagnosed by clinical examination alone. Most of the injuries (n = 23) were caused by road traffic accidents. 30 patients had injured the small bowel mesentery and 4 the large bowel mesentery. 25 of the 31 patients had associated injuries. There were no complications in the early group, compared with 6 wound infections and 1 case of small bowel obstruction in the delayed group (p < 0.0001). Median hospital stay in the early group was 11 days (range 3-24) compared with 23 days (range 10-61) in the delayed group (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: Because delay in diagnosis is significantly associated with morbidity and duration of hospital stay we recommend that all patients admitted with blunt abdominal trauma should have a diagnostic peritoneal lavage as soon as possible | en |
