EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Objectives Indications for laparotomy on the battlefield Use of FAST exam in the evaluation of the combat casualty Management of injuries to major abdominal, genitourinary and gynecological organs 2020, v1.0 14 December 2011 Pre‐decisional FOUO 3
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Indications for Laparotomy Penetrating injuries: ∎ Below the nipples ∎ Above the symphysis pubis ∎ Between the posterior axillary lines ∎ Clinical signs/symptoms of intraperitoneal injury Projectiles can take unexpected courses to the abdomen even if entry outside abdominal borders Source: Borden Institute: War Surgery in Afghanistan and Iraq 2020, v1.0 4
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Indications for Laparotomy Blunt abdominal injuries ∎ As a general rule, a patient with positive FAST or DPA/DPL should undergo exploration. DPA (+) > 10 ml blood. ∎ Patient in shock with negative or equivocal FAST, and no other identifiable source, should undergo laparotomy. 2020, v1.0 5
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic FAST Examination FAST: Focused Assessment Sonography for Trauma Extension of physical examination ∎ Advantages Noninvasive and repeatable Identifies significant intraperitoneal & pericardial fluid Most useful in blunt trauma May be useful in identifying hemopneumothoraces May help to decide which cavity to open first ∎ Disadvantages Operator dependent with possible missed injuries Unable to stage, characterize or identify specific injuries 2020, v1.0 6

EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Diagnostic Peritoneal Aspiration Diagnostic Peritoneal Aspiration (DPA) defines presence and character of intraperitoneal fluid. ∎ Positive aspiration 10cc gross blood Enteric contents ∎ Option if FAST unavailable or equivocal Invasive, often not reproducible, slower then FAST ∎ Not recommended for penetrating abdominal injuries 2020, v1.0 12
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Computed Tomography ∎ Computed Tomography (CT) will likely only be available at Role 3 or higher. ∎ If patient is stable, CT may help exclude fragment penetration of peritoneal cavity in stable, asymptomatic patients. Triple contrast (oral, IV, and rectal) recommended. No role for its use in unstable patients. ∎ May serve as adjunct to wound exploration to determine trajectory of fragments. 2020, v1.0 13
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Wound Exploration ∎ Blast injuries can create many fragments that penetrate the skin and not the abdominal cavity. ∎ Operative local wound exploration in a stable patient with normal or equivocal examination may help determine need for formal exploratory laparotomy. Should be performed in the OR. If any doubt on fragment penetration, perform exploratory laparotomy. Multiple penetrating injuries to anterior chest and abdomen 2020, v1.0 14
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic OR Planning (1) Operative Planning and Exposure Techniques ∎ Administer broad spectrum IV antibiotic prior to surgery and continue for 24 hours. ∎ Midline incision is ideal. ∎ Quickly pack all 4 quadrants with lap sponges while looking for obvious injuries. ∎ Control hemorrhage with packing/clamping of bleeding vessels and assess physiologic status. 2020, v1.0 15
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic OR Planning (2) Operative Planning and Exposure Techniques ∎ Consider casualty physiology, resources, locations, and form operative plan to control hemorrhage and contamination. Attempt to limit to < 60 min. Always consider damage control principles. In general definitive surgical procedures should be limited to when the patient is stable and a level of care with the greatest diagnostic and therapeutic resources. ∎ Massive swelling associated with large amounts of blood loss and resuscitation can occur. 2020, v1.0 16
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic OR Planning (3) Operative Planning & Exposure Techniques ∎ Avoid closing the fascia in the following circumstances: Further abdominal procedures anticipated Enteric viscera in discontinuity Damage control laparotomy ∎ The skin should not be closed. Temporary abdominal closure 2020, v1.0 17
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Gastric Injury ∎ Divide gastrocolic ligament to explore both anterior AND posterior stomach. Must visualize GE junction and Angle of His. ∎ Debride edges of traumatic gastrotomy and close primarily in one or two layers with permanent sutures. ∎ Leave NG/OG tube in place. Can consider using a large gastrostomy tube (large foley/malecot) if needed. 2020, v1.0 18
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Duodenal Injury (1) ∎ Bile staining or hematoma in A B periduodenal tissues mandates full exploration (Kocher maneuver). ∎ Obtain hemostasis. ∎ Control major contamination. Duodenal exclusion, repairs around drainage tubes or primary repairs Wide drainage with multiple closed C suction drains (anterior and posterior) A: Pyloric exclusion. B: Duodenal injury ∎ Transfer to next level of care repair. C: Gastrojejeunostomy. Source: Emergency War Surgery, 5th U.S. Edition if/when available. 2020, v1.0 19
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Duodenal Injury (2) ∎ Perform FULL Kocher to completely evaluate duodenum. ∎ Ascertain injury relationship to Ampulla and Bile/Pancreatic ducts. Should be considered with any injury involving second portion of duodenum or pancreatic head. ∎ Widely drain the site of all injuries with closed suction drains. ∎ Primary Repair: < 50% circumference minimal tissue loss Repair in two layers Place multiple drains 2020, v1.0 20
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Duodenal Injury (3) ∎ Extensive Injuries (≥ 50% Circumference): Close duodenal wall around a tube duodenostomy. Use 2‐0 absorbable suture (vicryl). Use largest malecot catheter or drainage tube available. ∎ Must protect your duodenal repair. Pyloric Exclusion (lasts only 14‐21 days): Ligate pylorus with 0‐Prolene/PDS via transgastric approach Fire noncutting (TA) stapler across pylorus (staple but not divide) Create a gastrojejunostomy. Place a feeding jejunostomy for nutrition. ∎ Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a procedure of LAST RESORT. Do not reconstruct in the initial procedure. 2020, v1.0 21
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Pancreatic Injury ∎ Wide drainage of all pancreatic injuries ∎ Pancreatic ductal assessment Even if not identified, it should be presumed Area should be drained with multiple closed‐suction drains ∎ Resect/staple clearly nonviable pancreatic body/tail tissue. ∎ As with duodenal injuries – pancreaticoduodenectomy is a procedure of LAST RESORT. Do not reconstruct at initial operation. 2020, v1.0 22
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Liver Injury (1) ∎ Most injuries can be successfully treated with direct pressure and/or packing followed by aggressive resuscitation. ∎ If packing not successful, surgical exposure should be done early and aggressively. ∎ Short duration clamping of hepatic artery and portal vein (Pringle Maneuver) can slow bleeding to allow for surgical control. 2020, v1.0 23
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Liver Injury (2) If bleeding continues despite initial management/Pringle maneuver, especially from behind the liver, retrohepatic venous injury is indicated. ∎ High mortality rate, high resource utilization ∎ Best managed with aggressive packing to maintain tamponade and resuscitation. ∎ Consider total hepatic vascular isolation or atriocaval shunt. 2020, v1.0 24
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Liver Injury (3) If needed for hemostasis, consider: ∎ Finger fracture of liver to identify and ligate individual bleeding vessels and bile ducts. ∎ Overlapping mattress sutures of #0 chromic on a blunt liver needle for raw surface bleeding. ∎ Consider hemostatic adjuncts. ∎ Last resort, cross clamping of aorta in left chest. ∎ For diffuse bleeding, can leave liver packed. Some hemostatic adjuncts like Combat Gauze® can be used to pack the abdomen. Ensure any retained material can be identified radiographically. Document that packing material was retained. 2020, v1.0 25
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Liver Injury (4) ∎ Surgical resection strongly discouraged. Only indicated when packing/pressure fails. Follow functional or injury pattern. ∎ Provide generous suction around major liver injuries. ∎ Omentum can be used to reduce Omental packing dead space. 2020, v1.0 26
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Biliary Tract Injury ∎ Gallbladder Cholecystectomy ∎ Bile duct Repair over T‐tube Segmental loss requires either: Choledochoenterostomy: Not a damage control procedure Tube choledochostomy: Preferred in damage control setting ∎ Wide drainage 2020, v1.0 27
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Splenic Injury ∎ The default option for the hemostatic control of splenic hemorrhage is splenectomy. Explore for associated diaphragm, stomach, pancreatic and renal injuries. Empiric left subphrenic drains should not be routinely placed if pancreas uninvolved. ∎ If a victim of isolated blunt trauma presents at a Role 3 facility that can ensure adequate clinical follow‐up and evaluation, non‐ operative management can be considered. Transfer should not be done until all ongoing intraabdominal hemorrhage is completely assessed and controlled. 2020, v1.0 28
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Post Splenectomy Immunizations ∎ Immunizations: Done in theater at the first facility that can do so 23‐Polyvalent Pneumococcal Haemophilus Influenza Meningococcal ∎ Important to document No assumption of completion at follow‐on facilities Distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Fragment is visible (arrow) within the parenchyma of the pancreas. Source: Borden Institute: War Surgery in Afghanistan and Iraq 2020, v1.0 29

EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Colon Injury ∎ Primarily repair simple, isolated injuries. Debride wound margins to normal, noncontused tissue. Perform 2‐layer primary repair. ∎ For complex injuries, strongly consider damage control followed by diversion, especially with: Massive blood transfusion Ongoing hypotension Hypoxia Reperfusion Injury Multiple other injuries and/or pancreatic injury High‐velocity injuries Extensive local tissue damage Distal colon 2020, v1.0 31
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Colon Injury ∎ Damage control techniques include: Ligation/stapling of bowel. Resuscitation in the ICU. ∎ Continuity should be restored or ostomy performed within 72 hours of original damage control procedure. Diverting colostomy. Note skin is not closed. 2020, v1.0 32
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Rectal Injury ∎ Question of injury suggested by proximity of other injury, rectal exam or radiography mandates proctoscopy. If the injury has not violated the peritoneum, do not explore the extraperitoneal rectum at laparotomy to avoid contamination of the abdominal cavity. ∎ Continuity should be restored or ostomy performed within 72 hours of original damage control procedure. 2020, v1.0 33
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Rectal Injury ∎ Treatment principles Diversion (loop or end ostomy) is most important aspect. Debridement and primary closure of small wounds not needed if diverted. Should granulate and heal on their own with time. Gentle distal rectal washout to assess injury may be needed. Too much pressure can create contamination of perirectal space. ∎ Prophylactic presacral drains are not advised. May be required due to gross contamination or infection. Avoid creating spaces to place drains. 2020, v1.0 34
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Retroperitoneal Injury ∎ Evaluate all central and all Zone 1 penetrating retroperitoneal hematomas. ∎ Zone 1: Explore for all injuries. ∎ Zone 2: Explore all penetrating Zone 2 Zone 2 injuries.

EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Renal Injury (1) ∎ Patients with gross hematuria require evaluation of the kidneys. ∎ Blunt injury: Nonoperative, unless unstable ∎ Penetrating: Explore ∎ Total nephrectomy immediately indicated in extensive renal injury if patient’s life would be threatened by attempted renal repair. Renal injury post penetrating injury 2020, v1.0 37
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Renal Injury (2) ∎ Most renal injuries, except for those at renal pedicle, are not acutely life threatening. Medial visceral rotation for life threating kidney injury Kidney preservation should be considered, but nephrectomy may be required for severely damaged kidney in an unstable patient. ∎ If repair planned, obtain renal control at the renal vascular pedicle. Can be done prior to opening the perirenal fascia. Local debridement of parenchyma Watertight closure of collecting system with absorbable suture If salvageable kidney, vascular repair is indicated. 2020, v1.0 38
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Renal Injury (3) ∎ Reconstructed kidney should be covered by perirenal fat, omentum or fibrin sealant. ∎ Closed‐suction drain should be left in place.

Reasonable to place stent when high‐velocity or blast occurs in proximity to ureter 2020, v1.0 40
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Ureteral Injury (2) ∎ Identify and localize with indigo carmine/methylene blue. ∎ Best managed in combat setting by temporary tube drainage with a small feeding tube or ureteral stent followed by delayed reconstruction. ∎ Basic principles of repair Minimal debridement 1 cm spatulated, tension free anastomosis Interrupted, absorbable 4/5‐0 suture Internal stent (Double J) External drainage Ureteroureterostomy Source: Emergency War Surgery, 5th U.S. Edition Isolate repairs with omentum or posterior peritoneum 2020, v1.0 41
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Ureteral Injury (3) ∎ Type of repair is dependent on: Anatomic segment (upper, middle, lower) Extent of segment loss Other injuries and patient stability ∎ Upper or middle ureteral injuries Short segment: Primary repair Long segment may require temporalizing tube, cutaneous ureterostomy with stent, or ureteral ligation with nephrostomy ∎ Lower ureteral Injuries Ureteroneocystostomy When associated with rectal injury, perform temporary diversion – not repair. 2020, v1.0 42
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Ureteral Injury (4) ∎ Lengthening procedures that can provide tension free repair: Ureteral mobilization Kidney mobilization Psoas hitch Baori flap Psoas hitch Ureteroneocystostomy Emergency War Surgery, 5th U.S. Edition 2020, v1.0 43
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Bladder Injury ∎ Consider bladder injury in patients with: Lower abdominal penetrating wounds. Pelvic fractures with gross hematuria.

Catheterization contra‐indicated until integrity confirmed by retrograde urethrography. ∎ If any difficulty passing catheter, the urethra should not be instrumented and a suprapubic tube Complicated penile and scrotal injury cystostomy should be performed. 2020, v1.0 46
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic External Genitalia (1) ∎ Management: be conservative as possible. Hemorrhage control Debridement Repair early to prevent deformity. ∎ Injuries to penis that disrupt buck’s fascia should be sutured to prevent bleeding and avoid curvature with erection. Avoid aggressive over sewing of corpus spongiosum to avoid distal ischemia. ∎ If extensive skin loss: Cover with remaining skin. Moist dressing. Complex perineal wound involving genitalia 2020, v1.0 47
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic External Genitalia (2) ∎ Extensive debridement is usually unnecessary. ∎ Scrotum Any penetrating injury must be explored. Primarily close scrotal lacerations with 3‐0 absorbable suture, 2‐layers if wound is less than 8 hours old and no life threatening injuries. Leave penrose or drain to reduce hematoma formation if closing. Post scrotal exploration 2020, v1.0 48
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic External Genitalia (3) Testicle ∎ Goal: To conserve as much tissue as possible. Debride herniated parenchymal tissue.

Evaluate for urethral, anal, rectal, or periclitoral injuries. Closure of ureteral injuries, periclitoral, and rectal injuries should be closed with 4‐0 or smaller absorbable suture. Close ureteral injuries over a Foley catheter and leave in place. 2020, v1.0 50
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic External Genitalia (5) Vulvar hematoma ∎ Most can be treated non‐operatively (compression). ∎ May require foley catheter for ureteral obstruction. ∎ May require incision and ligation of bleeding vessels. Extraperitoneal expansion with signs of shock. Large hematomas may cause skin necrosis. Vagina ∎ Thorough inspection required. ∎ Concomitant urological trauma in 30% with vaginal trauma. ∎ Lacerations can be closed with 4‐0 absorbable suture. Clinically significant vaginal hematomas should be treated with incision, evacuation, ligation, and packing. 2020, v1.0 51
EWS Abdominal, Urologic, Gynecologic Gynecological Trauma Uterine injury ∎ Repair simple cervical/uterine lacerations with #0 absorbable suture. ∎ Hemorrhage not responding to ligation/extensive cervical damage requires hysterectomy Fallopian Tubes ∎ Simple laceration equivalent to a salpingotomy should be allowed to heal by secondary intention. ∎ Significantly damaged tube should be treated with salpingectomy. 2020, v1.0 52
