ABSTRACT
Introduction. Surgical stapling devices have demonstrated their usefulness in damage control surgery (DCS), given they decrease the length of time in which the patient stays in the operating room, and thus favoring his/her early transportation to the Intensive Care Unit for the recovery of his/her former metabolic status.
Data-source. Web-electronic and bibliographic research of current information related to the use of surgical-stapling devices in damage control surgery of the trauma patient, and clinical images and recommendations from the authors' personal experience.
Results. In this paper, we show different operative strategies for damage control surgery in the critically ill trauma patient, by using surgical stapling devices.
Conclusions. Surgical-stapling devices decrease the length of surgical time, without impairment of the surgical strategy, and they are valuable auxilliary instruments for the institution of damage-control surgery in the trauma patient.
