Abstract

Objective: To compare primary repair and stoma formation for the patients with traumatic gut injury.

Study Design: Quasi-experimental study.

Place and Duration of Study: The study conducted at Rawalpindi Medical University and Allied Hospitals from Jun to Dec 2021.

Methodology: The study was conducted to compare primary repair and stoma formation in patients of traumatic injuries. The patients were divided in two groups: Group-A (primary repair) and Group-B (stoma formation), Surgical site infection was considered as a primary outcome.

Results: A total of 60 patients (30 in each group) were analyzed. The mean age in Group-A and Group-B was 30.7±15.57 years and 35.4±17.53 years, respectively. Surgical site infections occurred in 30% (n=9) of patients in Group-A and 63.33% (n=19) of patients in Group-B, with a statistically significant difference (p=0.009).

Conclusion: Primary repair is superior to stoma formation for the patients with traumatic gut injures.
