Etymology
• Stone and colleagues: Technique of ‘truncated laparotomy’ in 1983.
• Rotondo and colleagues: coined term DCS as a 3 phase technique in 1993.
• Johnson and schwab: 4 phase technique ( pre-theatre phase).

Definition
• Damage control surgery(DCS) is a concept of abbreviated laparotomy,
designed to prioritize short-term physiological recovery over anatomical
reconstruction in the seriously injured and compromised patient.
• Damage control resuscitation (DCR) : A systematic approach to major
trauma combining the ABC paradigm with a series of clinical techniques
from point of wounding to definitive treatment in order to minimize blood
loss, maximize tissue oxygenation, and optimize outcome.

Phases of DCS
Stage I: Ground 0 ( additional)- Pre Hospital And Hospital Phase
Stage II: Abbreviated Laparotomy
Stage III: ICU Resuscitation
Stage IV: Definitive surgery
11
Phase I– Ground Zero• Prehospital care & Initial resuscitation: • Built on fundamentals of ATLS guidelines. • Rapid Transport to definitive care. • Rapid Evaluation. • FAST, Tube Thoracotomy, CXR, Pelvis X-ray• Damage Control Resuscitation to systolic 80-90 mmHg.(permissive
hypotension)
• This phase should take 20-30 min.
12
Phase II- Abbreviated Laparotomy
• Damage Control Laparotomy Principles
• Control haemorrhage
• Prevention contamination
• Avoid further injury
• Aims to restore physiology at the expense of anatomical reconstruction.• On- going DCRThis phase should take 90 mins.
13
Phase III- ResuscitationDCR: This may only require 12 h , many will require 24–36 h • Require collaborative efforts of multiple critical care physicians, nurses, and ancillary staff. • GOAL: reverse the sequelae of hypotension related metabolic failure. • Physiological and biochemical restoration. • Adequate oxygen delivery to body tissues• Intensive monitoring• aggressive core rewarming• Aggressive approach to correction of coagulopathy• Tertiary SurveyPhase II unplanned re-exploration:ongoing transfusion requirements or persistent acidosis despite normalized clotting and
core temperature.ACS symptoms.
Damage Control Resuscitation
• Definition:• A systematic approach to major exsanguinating trauma incorporating several
strategies to decrease mortality and morbidity:
1. Permissive hypotension (Minimal Normotension)
2. Haemostatic resuscitation (Massive Transfusion Protocol)
3. Haemorrhage Control (Damage control surgery)
15
Phase IV- Definitive Surgery• Timing is critical.
• With focused, critical care management and resuscitation one may obtain this physiological state within 24–36 hours.
• Look for hidden injuries
• Addresses the definitive repair and tension free abdominal closure.

Indications for DCS Hypothermia on presentation (< 35°C)
Hemodynamic instability
Coagulopathy on presentation or during operation
Severe metabolic acidosis (pH < 7.2 or base deficit > 8
High energy Blunt trauma
Multiple penetrating torso injuries
Prohibitive operative time required for definitive repair(> 90 min)
Multiple visceral injuries with major vascular trauma
Multiple injuries across body cavities
Massive transfusion requirements (> 10 units packed red blood cells)
Presence of injuries better treated with nonsurgical adjunctsRev. Col. Bras. Cir. 2012; 39(4): 314-321

Damage control LaparotomyPrinciples• Control haemorrhage operative control of haemorrhage and simultaneous vigorous resuscitation with blood and clotting factorsAvailability of Blood, FFP, cryoprecipitate, platelet• Prevention contamination• Avoid further injury
• Evacuation of blood. • Four quadrant packing.• Full exposure of the injuries.
• Kocher maneuver• Cattell-Braasch• Mattox
19
Damage control Laparotomy• Solid organs: such as spleen and isolated kidney , are sacrificed in
damage control if repair prolongs surgical times.• Bleeding vessel : Ligation /shunting.• Bowel injury: stapler/ ligation.• Intra-abdominal Packing • No reconstructive surgery undertaken• Temporary abdominal closure
Liver• peri-hepatic packing- anteroposterior plane , hepatorenal space • Pringles manouvre• transfer to angiography suite immediately after the operation to
identify any ongoing arterial haemorrhage which may be controlled with selective angiographic embolization.
Spleensplenectomy Minor splenic injuries- direct suture techniques
Organ Specific techniques

GIT• control of haemorrhage • prevention of further contamination by controlling spillage of gut
contents. • Small gastrotomies or enterotomies rapidly closed primarily with a
single layer continuous suture.• colonic injuries, multiple small bowel lesions resect non-viable bowel, close the ends, relook at 2nd procedure. • linear stapler• Ileostomy, colostomy avoided if abdomen to be left open
Organ Specific techniques
Damage Control SurgeryKarim Brohi, trauma.org 5:6, June 2000
Pancreas rarely requires or allows definitive surgery • Minor injuries not involving the duct (AAST I,II,IV) require no
treatment. • Distal Injury(Left of SMV- AAST III) with extensive tissue
destruction including pancreatic duct-- rapid distal pancreatectomy.• Massive injuries to the pacreaticoduodenal complex (AAST V) -
debrided only.• Duodenal injuries- single suture/ temporarily close ends(major)

Arterial • “Ligatable” arteries: Common and external carotid • Subclavian, axillary • Internal iliac • Celiac axis, IMA • ICA ligation 10-20% risk of CVA • EIA, CFA, SFA ligation >> high risk limb ischemia • SMA: gut necrosis Venous • Almost all veins (including the IVC) can be ligated when needed

Retroperitoneal Zones
Zone I Mandatory exploration Supramesocolic: Prox. control: Supraceliac aorta Inframesocolic: Prox. control: Infrarenal aorta / IVC
Zone II , IIISelective exploration (if penetrating)Leave alone if from blunt trauma
Opening a pelvic retroperitoneal haematoma in the presence of a pelvic fracture is almost universally fatal!!
• ACS• Enterocutaneous fistula• Sepsis• Pancreatic injury can be recognised by the presence of a tensely distended• abdomen, elevated peak airway pressures, inadequate ventilation,• hypoxia and oliguria or anuria. The clinical diagnosis can be• Normal intra-abdominal• pressure is 0 cm of H20. Pressure over 35 cm of H20 is diagnostic
Complications of DCS
• ACS• recognised by the presence of a tensely distended abdomen• elevated peak airway pressures• inadequate ventilation, hypoxia • oliguria or anuria. • Normal intra-abdominal pressure is 0 cm of H20. Pressure
over 30 cm of H20 is diagnostic(25cm suggestive)
Complications of DCS- ACS
ACS Sudden release ACS leads to :• ischaemia-reperfusion injury-- acidosis, vasodilatation,
cardiac dysfunction and arrest.• Prior, pre-load with crystalloid solution, Mannitol and
vasodilators such as dobutamine
Complications of DCS
Principles • Timing is critical: 24-48hours• removal of clots and abdominal packs • Copious Lavage • complete inspection of the abdomen to detect missed injuries• Haemostasis and restoration of intestinal integrity • Abdominal wound closure-- Temporary vs. definitive closure
Phase IV: Reoperation
• Temporary closure of the open abdomen is best accomplished :• VAC Dressing.• fascial tensioning.
• Abdominal closure is best accomplished by hospital day 8 to reduce morbidity.

available alternative.• 3. After 5-7 days --Wittman patch or modified V.A.C.

• Management of exsanguination requires prompt thinking and aggressive surgical intervention.
• Delays in the decision to perform DC contribute to a higher morbidity and mortality.
• DCS is a vital part of the management of the multiply injured patient and should be performed before metabolic exhaustion.
