Gastro-intestinal injuries in abdominal trauma.
Management of 55 patients of gastro-intestinal injuries has been reviewed. Eighty percent of the patients presented with generalised peritonitis and jejunum was the commonest segment of the bowel injured. Pneumoperitoneum co-related poorly with intestinal disruption. It was present in 35.8 per cent of the cases. Repeated physical examination was found to be paramount importance. Sixty percent of the patients has associated intra-extra-abdominal injuries. Preoperative shock, multiple hollow visceral injury, septicemia, and location of injury (colon and duodenum) were significant prognostic factors associated with the high mortality. Mortality in the series was 25.4 per cent.
Renal allograft rupture and its management.
Renal allograft rupture, although a rare complication, was encountered in 11 of our 137 cases of live kidney donor transplants. The commonest finding was an associated acute rejection. Our cases were mainly given conservative treatment with repair of the rupture and antirejection therapy. Eight of our kidneys were saved in this way, thus eight of the 11 patients survived. None of the deaths were related to the graft rupture or its effects.
