TLDR
Colonic anastomotic disruptions yield deadly consequences, and diversion rather than anASTomosis should be used in patients who require vasopressor support after the initial DC procedure.Abstract:
Background Management of destructive colon injuries during damage control (DC) laparotomy is debated. The authors reviewed a single institution's experience with destructive colon injuries to identify risk factors for anastomotic failure after colon reconstruction. Methods The authors identified all trauma patients sustaining destructive colon injuries between 2002 and 2011 from their medical center's trauma registry. Anastomotic leak was defined as suture or staple line disruption or enteral fistula formation. Results Of 171 identified patients, 68 had DC procedures, 41 (60%) had subsequent anastomoses performed during the same hospitalization, and 27 (40%) were diverted. The colon anastomotic leak rate in patients who underwent DC laparotomy was higher than in patients who were reconstructed at the primary operation in a non-DC setting (17% vs 6%, P = .09). The use of vasopressors after the initial DC operation more than quadrupled the leak rate to 50% ( P = .02). Conclusions Colonic anastomotic disruptions yield deadly consequences, and diversion rather than anastomosis should be used in patients who require vasopressor support after the initial DC procedure.read more

TL;DR: The open abdomen in trauma and non-trauma patients has been proposed to be effective in preventing or treating deranged physiology in patients with severe injuries or critical illness when no other perceived options exist and its use remains controversial.

TL;DR: Flow changes in the stomach seemed related more to surgery than to TEA/vasopressor support, and laser speckle contrast imaging could form basis for directing procedures to maintain the microcirculation.

TL;DR: LSCI provides an option for real-time assessment of gastric microcirculation and could form basis for intraoperative stabilization of the microcirculations and identify a reduced micro Circulation at the corpus area during open Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy.

TL;DR: In patients undergoing DCL, implementation of DCR reduces crystalloid and blood product administration and is associated with an improvement in 30-day survival, and more importantly, DCR was associated with a significant increase in 30 day survival.

TL;DR: The surgical method of colon management after resection for penetrating trauma does not affect the incidence of abdominal complications, irrespective of associated risk factors, and primary anastomosis should be considered in all such patients.
