The six-phase strategy (including damage control resuscitation in phase 0) is similar to that for severely injured patients, although non-trauma indications include shock from uncontrolled haemorrhage or sepsis. Minimal evidence exists to validate the benefit of damage control surgery in general surgical abdominal emergencies. The collective published experience over the past decade is limited to 16 studies including a total of 455 (range 3\u201399) patients, of which the majority are retrospective case series. However, the concept has widespread acceptance by emergency surgeons, and appears a logical extension from pathophysiological principles in trauma to haemorrhage and sepsis. The benefits of this strategy depend on careful patient selection. Damage control surgery has been performed for a wide range of indications, but most frequently for uncontrolled bleeding during elective surgery, haemorrhage from complicated gastroduodenal ulcer disease, generalized peritonitis, acute mesenteric ischaemia and other sources of intra-abdominal sepsis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Damage control surgery is employed in a wide range of abdominal emergencies and is an increasingly recognized life-saving tactic in emergency surgery performed on physiologically deranged patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.9360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,25]],"date-time":"2013-11-25T11:39:03Z","timestamp":1385379543000},"page":"e109-e118","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":215,"title":["Damage control surgery for abdominal emergencies"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"D G","family":"Weber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Traumatology, John Hunter Hospital and University of Newcastle , Newcastle, New South Wales,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Bendinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Traumatology, John Hunter Hospital and University of Newcastle , Newcastle, New South Wales,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Z J","family":"Balogh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Traumatology, John Hunter Hospital and University of Newcastle , Newcastle, New South Wales,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024092904593342200_bjs9360-bib-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2012.01.006","article-title":"Damage control for intra-abdominal sepsis","volume":"92","author":"Waibel","year":"2012","journal-title":"Surg Clin N Am"},{"key":"2024092904593342200_bjs9360-bib-0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"859","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2012.04.002","article-title":"The evolution of damage control surgery","volume":"92","author":"Chovanes","year":"2012","journal-title":"Surg Clin N Am"},{"key":"2024092904593342200_bjs9360-bib-0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"314","DOI":"10.1590\/S0100-69912012000400012","article-title":"Damage control surgery: its evolution over the last 20 years","volume":"39","author":"Waibel","year":"2012","journal-title":"Rev Col Bras Cir"},{"key":"2024092904593342200_bjs9360-bib-0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"761","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6109(05)70582-X","article-title":"The damage control sequence and underlying logic","volume":"77","author":"Rotondo","year":"1997","journal-title":"Surg Clin N Am"},{"key":"2024092904593342200_bjs9360-bib-0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"405","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9610(96)00216-4","article-title":"Orr Memorial Lecture.
