Surgical approaches for reconnecting the intestine after trauma

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a retrospective data repository using the Methodist Dallas Medical Center trauma registry to compile cases of traumatic small and large bowel injuries. Researchers will aggregate patient demographics, injury codes, operative approach (initial primary anastomosis, delayed anastomosis, or ostomy diversion), and outcomes such as complications, leak rates, length of stay, and mortality. The goal is to permit quality-improvement analyses comparing these management strategies and to identify factors linked with better or worse outcomes. Eligible records are adults (18+) with diagnostic codes for bowel injury, while prisoners, pregnant persons, and other protected populations are excluded.
