ABSTRACT

Introduction:Traumatic lesions of the duodenum are infrequent, and stand for approximately 4% of all abdominal injuries; however, they lead to a significant morbidity and mortality. Thus, recognition and early treatment are pivotal.
Objective:The purpose of this work is to present a concise description of both, the historical perspective and the anatomy of this organ.
Setting:Third level health care hospital.
Results:Methods of diagnosis at hand in the evaluation of duodenal trauma are described, as well as the importance of an ample knowledge of those techniques most widely utilized. Finally, we performed a reflective analysis of the morbidity and mortality of these lesions, based on an extensive review of current literature, providing our experience in the management of these type of injuries in a first level urban trauma center.
Conclusion:Exploratory laparotomy is still the last resource to identify duodenal lesion.
