Summary

The management of significant duodenal injuries and combined duodenal-pancreatic injuries continues to be challenging and controversial, and several techniques have been advocated over the years. One technique surgeons employ is the damage control/planned reoperation strategy. At the trauma center, the advent of damage control and other planned re-operation strategies has resulted in an evolution in the investigators management of duodenal lacerations and combined duodenal-pancreatic injuries. In this retrospective review, the investigators intend to quantify the investigators change in practice and to report its outcome compared to previous practice.

Using the OHSU Trauma Laparotomy Outcomes Database, the investigators will identify all patients receiving trauma laparotomy for a duodenal or duodenal/pancreatic injury for a period of 20 years, from 1989-2009. A number of data points will be retrieved from patients' medical records, including but not limited to grade of duodenal injury, mechanism of injury, Injury Severity Score, and others.
