[Retroperitoneal rupture of the duodenum caused by closed abdominal injury].

Preoperative diagnosis of retroperitoneal rupture of the duodenum is very difficult. Radiographical observation of air surrounding the right kidney or psoas muscle is of great assistance in this respect, but may only be expected in 30% of cases. Examination of the first segment of the digestive tract with the aid of "gastropgrafin" is advised. With the abdomen open, the presence of air, haematoma or bile in the transverse mesocolon or mesentery of the small intestine may be noted. In most cases, the breach can be closed with a double layer, leaving a drainage tube in the retroperitoneum. Measures than can be taken when suturing is unfeasable are also described.

[Bases of infusional therapy. Note. I. Fluid balance].

The complex hydroelectrolytic problem is examined by a study of the physiology and physiopathology of fluids, electrolytes and proteins. A number of interesting critical and clinical problems of use in the pre- and postoperative treatment of surgical patients and in cases where a change in the hydroelectric balance takes place, are involved. Therapy is facilitated if needs are calculated on the basis of the three basic principles: 1) daily physiological need; 2) replacement of physiological losses; 3) elimination of the existing deficiency.
