Abstract

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to establish the clinical course and importance of missed arterial injuries and disregarded venous repair after surgery for gunshot injuries. METHODS This retrospective study was performed on the operative results of 275 shotgun vascular injury patients’ presented to our clinic between January 1992 and December 2004. All patients were analyzed from their medical files and operative notes. The incidence of missed arterial injuries and ignored venous repair, localization and type of vascular complications, limb loss and mortality outcomes were documented. RESULTS Seventy-five patients (27.27%) for a delayed diagnosis of a missed arterial injury and 91 patients (33.09%) for an ignored venous repair were treated. Complications of missed arterial injuries were determined as followings: false aneurysm n=43 (57.33%), arteriovenous fistula n=20 (26.66%), occlusion n=12 (16%). The missed vascular injury was most commonly observed in superficial femoral artery (n=20). The venous injury was present in 167 patients. Complications of disregarded venous repair were determined as venous edema and deep vein thrombosis. CONCLUSION Missed arterial injuries and disregarded venous repairs during initial diagnosis or operation affect the morbidity and mortality in gunshot injury patients. After haemodynamic stabilization, gunshot patients should be evaluated by arteriography and venography to determine the anatomic localization of vascular injuries. All vascular continuity should be restored either by primary repair or by an autolog graft. All venous injuries located in popliteal and femoral area should be repaired.

Özet

AMAÇ Ateşli silah yaralanması cerrahisi sonrasında gözden kaçan arteryel yaralanmalar ve ihmal edilen ven tamirlerinin klinik gidiş ve önemini ortaya koymaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Bu retrospektif çalışma Ocak 1992-Aralık 2004 tarihleri arasında ateşli silaha bağlı vasküler yaralanma sonucu kliniğimize müracaat eden 275 hastanın (269 erkek, 6 kadın; ort. yaş 23±5) ameliyat sonuçları üzerinden gerçekleştirildi. Hastalar ameliyat notları ve dosya kayıt sistemi üzerinden araştırıldılar. Gözden kaçan arteryel yaralanma, ihmal edilen ven tamirlerinin sıklığı, vasküler komplikasyonların tip ve lokalizasyonları, ekstremite kaybı ve mortalite sonuçları ortaya konuldu. BULGULAR Hastaların 75’i (%27,27) gözden kaçmış arteryel yaralanma, 91’i (%33,09) ihmal edilen ven tamiri dolayısıyla tedavi edildi. Gözden kaçan vasküler yaralanma komplikasyonları, yalancı anevrizma (n=43, %57,33), arteriyovenöz fistül (n=20, %26,66) ve tıkanıklık (n=12, %16) olarak belirlendi. Gözden kaçan vasküler yaralanma en sık süperfisyel femoral arterde idi (n=20). Venöz yaralanma 167 hastada mevcuttu. Venöz komplikasyonlar, venöz ödem ve derin ven trombozu olarak saptandı. SONUÇ Ateşli silahla oluşan vasküler yaralanmalarda ilk tanıda veya ameliyat anında gözden kaçan arteryel yaralanmalar, ihmal edilen ven tamirleri mortalite ve morbiditeyi etkilemektedir. Ateşli silah yaralanmalı hasta hemodinamik stabilizasyonun ardından vasküler yaralanmasının anatomik lokalizasyonunun belirlenmesi için arteriyografi ve venografi ile değerlendirilmelidir. Tüm vasküler devamlılıklar primer veya otolog greft ile yeniden sağlanmalıdır. Popliteal ve femoral bölgedeki tüm venöz yaralanmalar tamir edilmelidir.
