16. What is your Opinion About Surgical Management of
This Patient?
17. Despite Reports Of Negative Laparotomy In 5 To 27% Of
Abdominal Gunshot Wounds And Up To 53% Of Stab
Wounds, Penetrating Abdominal Injuries Are Still
Predominately Managed With Open Exploration
18. Complications From Unnecessary Laparotomy Must Be
Weighed Against The Potential Severe Morbidity And
Mortality From Missed Injurie
21. Concepts Such As Early Focused Antibiotic Use,
Appropriate Resuscitation, And Damage Control
Techniques Are Now A Mainstay Of Care For Colonic
Injuries

24. Successful Primary Repair In
73 To 85% Of Civilian Injuries
11 To 72% Of Military Injuries.

An Anastomotic Leak
The High Morbidity
26. Anastomotic Leak Rates Following The Primary Repair
Of Colonic Wounds In Civilian Trauma Centers Still
Range From 0 To 15%

28. Technique Used To Repair The Colonic Wall Injury For
Primary Anastomosis?
NO DIFFERENCE IN OVERALL COLON-RELATED
COMPLICATIONS OR ANASTOMOTIC LEAK RATE

29. Colon Trauma Management Has Evolved Dramatically
Over The Past Century.
Through Advancements In Perioperative Care And
Surgical Techniques, Studies Are Now Focusing On
Reducing The Risk For Anastomotic Complications
