Article Synopsis
- Patients with duodenal leaks (DL) who received enteral nutrition (EN) experienced shorter time to leak closure, fewer infectious complications, and reduced hospital stays compared to those receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) or a combination of both.
- The study analyzed data from 113 patients across 35 trauma centers, highlighting that EN patients had significantly fewer days without oral intake and less severe complications.
- The findings suggest that EN is a preferable nutritional strategy for DL patients, as it promotes quicker recovery and fewer hospital-related issues.

Background: Duodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both leak occurrence and severity when leaks occur. Data on the association of CRAM and duodenal leak are sparse, and its impact on duodenal leak outcomes is nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated with decreased duodenal leak rates; however, CRAM would be associated with improved recovery and outcomes when leaks do occur.
