Özet

Purpose: Our objective in this study is to establish the factors effecting morbidity and mortality in rectal injuries which occurred in civilian injuries. Methods: Fifty-two patients who had been hospitalized for rectal injuries are evaluated. Patients are arranged in two groups according to the etiology: Group I rectal injuries caused by penetrating traumas; Group II rectal injuries caused by blunt traumas. To determine the risk factors, demographic data of the patients are compared. Results: Group I consisted of 35 male and 2 female patients and average age was 27,5 +/- 7,5, while Group II consisted of 12 male and 3 female patients, and average age was 32,8 +/- 12,4 (p>0.05). Mean average of ISS was 10.1 +/- 10.1 in Group I and 19.4 +/- 12.1 in Group II (p=0.014). However, mean average of TRISS was 98.5 +/- 1.4 in Group I, and 96.4 +/- 3.5 in Group II; and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.011). Mortality numbers for the groups were 1 patient in Group I (2.7 %), 3 patients in Group II (20%), (p=0.034). Conclusions: Although rectal injuries are rarely seen in clinic, morbidity and mortality rates are high. So, being aware of the risk factors and developing a therapy plan, considering the patient is important for the success of therapy.
