Abstract
BackgroundPatients with extremely high-risk abdominal trauma and full-thickness necrosis and defects of the partial abdominal wall are clinically rare, and the treatments for these patients are very difficult and complex . In this study, we will explore the key factors for successful treatment of these patients . MethodsThree patients with extremely high-risk abdominal trauma and partial full-thickness abdominal wall defects were involved in this retrospective study, and one representative case was emphatically reviewed. According to the theory of damage control surgery,the consultation and coordinated treatment of multidisciplinary team(MDT) were involved firstly, then, stepped multiple operations,such as partial perforated small bowel resection, full-thickness abdominal wall defects repair, vacuum sealing drainage (VSD), and wounds skin grafts, were performed, meanwhile, systemic life resuscitation was strengthened. ResultsTwo patients were cured and discharged after 3 and 9 operations respectively. One patient suffered 2 operations and eventually died of lung infection and respiratory failure. ConclusionThe determination and responsibility of surgeons, rational use of damage control theory and multidisciplinary cooperation should be the keys for successful treatment.
