Abstract
PURPOSE Specific training in the management of trauma patients is beneficial for surgeons. Training through specific courses in this area has a direct impact on the care of these patients. The aim of this work is to understand the participation and specific training in the care of trauma patients by Spanish surgeons. METHODS A national survey was conducted and administered to all members of the Spanish Association of Surgeons. The survey assessed their degree of participation in emergency surgery, and therefore the probability of attending trauma patients, their assessment of the initial care of trauma patients in their centre, and their specific training in this field. RESULTS The survey was completed by 510 surgeons from 47 Spanish provinces, with Catalonia and Andalusia being the most represented regions. In total, 456 (89.41%) of those surveyed work in the emergency department on a routine basis. Only 171 (33.53%) refer to having a registry of trauma patients in their hospital. While 79.02% of surgeons reported that general surgeons are not involved in care of severe trauma from the outset, only 66.47% have completed the ATLS course, 40.78% the DSTC course and 18.82% the MUSEC course. Despite this, 85.69% believe that the ATLS course should be compulsory during residency and 43.33% believe that severe trauma care in their hospital is poor or very poor. CONCLUSION Only 40% have received specific training in definitive surgical management of severe trauma. Despite this, a large percentage of surgeons work in the emergency department on a routine basis and potentially face the challenge of managing these patients.

Abstract
La infección por el nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 [COVID-19]) ha determinado la necesidad de la reorganización de muchos centros hospitalarios en el mundo. España, como uno de los epicentros de la enfermedad, ha debido asumir cambios en la práctica totalidad de su territorio. Sin embargo, y desde el inicio de la pandemia, en todos los centros que atienden urgencias quirúrgicas ha sido necesario el mantenimiento de su cobertura, aunque igualmente ha sido inevitable introducir directrices especiales de ajuste al nuevo escenario que permitan el mantenimiento de la excelencia en la calidad asistencial. Este documento desarrolla una serie de indicaciones generales para la cirugía de urgencias y la atención al politraumatizado desarrolladas desde la literatura disponible y consensuadas por un subgrupo de profesionales desde el grupo general Cirugía-AEC-COVID-19. Estas medidas van encaminadas a contemplar un riguroso control de la exposición en pacientes y profesionales, a tener en cuenta las implicaciones de la pandemia sobre diferentes escenarios perioperatorios relacionados con la urgencia y a una adaptación ajustada a la situación del centro en relación con la atención a pacientes infectados.

Abstract
The Acute Care Surgery model groups trauma and emergency surgery with surgical critical care. Conceived and extended during the last 2 decades throughout North America, the magnitude and clinical idiosyncrasy of emergency general surgery have determined that this model has been expanded to other parts of the world. In our country, this has led to the introduction and implementation of the so-called trauma and emergency surgery units, with common objectives as those previously published for the original model: to decrease the rates of emergency surgery at night, to allow surgeons linked to elective surgery to develop their activity in their own disciplines during the daily schedule, and to become the perfect link and reference for the continuity of care. This review summarizes how the original model was born and how it expanded throughout the world, providing evidence in terms of results and a description of the current situation in our country.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extremities are commonly injured following bomb explosions. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hemorrhagic shock (HS) in victims of explosion suffering from extremity injuries. METHODS Retrospective study based on a cohort of patient records maintained in one hospital's mass casualty registry. RESULTS Sixty-six victims of explosion who were hospitalized with extremity injuries were identified and evaluated. Sixteen (24.2%) of these were hemodynamically unstable during the first 24 h of treatment. HS could be attributed to associated injuries in seven of the patients. In the other nine patients, extremity injury was the only injury that could explain HS in seven patients and the extremity injury was a major contributor to HS together with another associated injury in two patients. In those 9 patients, in whom the extremity injury was the sole or major contributor to HS, a median of 10 (range 2-22) pRBC was transfused during the first 24 h of treatment. Six of the nine patients were in need of massive transfusion. Fractures in both upper and lower extremities, Gustilo IIIb-c open fractures and AIS 3-4 were found to be risk factors for HS. CONCLUSIONS Ample consideration should be given to patients with extremity injuries due to explosions, as these may be immediately life threatening. Tourniquet use should be encouraged in the pre-hospital setting. Before undertaking surgery, emergent HS should be considered in these patients and prevented by appropriate resuscitation.

Abstract
Enterocutaneous fistulas occur most commonly following surgery. A minority of them is caused by a myriad of other etiologies including infection, malignancy, and radiation. While some fistulas may close spontaneously, most patients will eventually need surgery to resolve this pathology. Successful treatment entails adoption of various methods of treatment aimed at control of sepsis, protection of surrounding skin and soft tissue, control of fistula output, and maintenance of nutrition, with eventual spontaneous or surgical closure of the fistula. The aim of this article is to review the various treatment options in their appropriate context.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The unique patterns of injury following explosions together with the involvement of numerous physicians, most of whom are not experienced in trauma, may create problems in the medical management of mass casualty incidents. METHODS Four hundred patient files admitted in 19 mass casualty events following bombing incidents were reviewed and possible areas which could impact survival were defined. RESULTS Forty-nine (9.3 %) patients had an Injury Severity Score ≥16. Of 205 patients in whom triage decisions were available, 5 of 25 severely injured patients were undertriaged by the triage officers at the door of the hospital. Following primary evaluation inside the emergency department critical injuries in two patients were missed due to distracting, less serious injuries. Of 68 (16.1 %) patients who were operated, 28 were in need of either immediate, urgent or high-priority operations. Except for neurosurgical cases which needed to be transferred to other hospitals, there was no delay in surgery. One patient underwent negative laparotomy. There were 15 in-hospital deaths, 6 of which were deemed as either anticipated or unanticipated mortality with possibility for improvement. CONCLUSION Medical management should be evaluated following MCIs as this may illustrate possible problems which many need to be addressed in contingency planning.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review the frequency, different patterns, anatomic severity, management, and prognosis of abdominal injuries in survivors of explosions, according to the main mechanism of injury. METHODS A MEDLINE search was conducted from January 1982 to August 2013, including the following MeSH terms: blast injuries, abdominal injuries. EMBASE was also searched, with the same entries. Abdominal blast injuries (ABIs) have been defined as injuries resulting not only from the effects of the overpressure on abdominal organs, but also from the multimechanistic effects and projectile fragments resulting from the blast. Special emphasis was placed on the detailed assessment of ABIs in patients admitted to GMUGH (Gregorio Marañón University General Hospital) after the Madrid 2004 terrorist bombings, and in patients admitted to HYMC (Hillel Yaffe Medical Centre) in Hadera (Israel) following several bombing episodes. The anatomic severity of injuries was assessed by the abdominal component of the AIS, and the overall anatomic severity of casualties was assessed by means of the NISS. RESULTS Abdominal injuries are not common in survivors of terrorist explosions, although they are a frequent finding in those immediately killed. Primary and tertiary blast injuries have predominated in survivors from explosions in enclosed spaces reported outside of Israel. In contrast, secondary blast injuries causing fragmentation wounds were predominant in suicide bombings in open and/or semi-confined spaces, mainly in Israel, and also in military conflicts. Multiple perforations of the ileum seem to be the most common primary blast injury to the bowel, but delayed bowel perforations are rare. Secondary blast injuries carry the highest anatomic severity and mortality rate. Most of the deaths assessed occurred early, with hemorrhagic shock from penetrating fragments as the main contributing factor. The negative laparotomy rate has been very variable, with higher rates reported, in general, from civilian hospitals attending a large number of casualties. CONCLUSIONS The pattern, severity, management, and prognosis of ABI vary considerably, in accordance with the main mechanism of injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our purpose was to present our hospital experience with bullhorn injuries. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients in our Trauma Registry (1993-2012). RESULTS Fifteen patients were included. All were hemodynamically stable on presentation, with a mean Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and a Revised Trauma Score (RTS) of 15 and 11.9, respectively. The Injury Severity Score (ISS) and New Injury Severity Score were 13.6 ± 6 and 15.9 ± 9, respectively. Seven had an ISS > 15. Injuries resulted from an isolated blunt trauma (BT) in four, penetrating trauma (PT) in seven, with extensive soft tissue injuries (STI) in three, and a combined BT + PT mechanism in four patients, with extensive STI in all. Three patients had injuries to vessels in the groin, two with prehospital vein ligation. Five patients had abdominal visceral injuries, and another had a sheathed goring, with a traumatic abdominal wall hernia and retroperitoneal hematoma. Four patients had thoracic injuries, and one of them had a traumatic thoracoplasty with a large open thoracic wound, a flail chest, and extensive STI. Two patients had traumatic brain injury, and six had bone fractures. Two-thirds of patients required a surgical procedure under general anesthesia. Morbidity included three surgical site infections, one leg compartment syndrome, and one persistent lymph drainage. There was no mortality, and the mean length of hospital stay was 16 days. CONCLUSIONS Bullhorn and bullfighting injuries frequently have a multimechanistic origin which goes beyond a pure penetrating trauma. Associated blunt and STI were common in our series, and the overall prognosis of patients admitted to hospital was good.

Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon tumor of vascular endothelial cell origin with a clinical course between hemangioma and angiosarcoma. Clinical manifestations and radiological findings are nonspecific, and histopathologic examination is required to establish a definitive diagnosis. Currently, hepatic resection or liver transplantation is the best therapeutic options. Because of its unknown biological behavior, local resection and radio-frequency ablation, although an uncommon treatment method, can be performed in the absence of extrahepatic or diffuse involvement.

Abstract
The desmoplastic small round cell tumor is infrequent.That mainly affects male youngsters and is normally located at the abdomino-pelvic cavity, being its clinic unspecific. The diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of a specific chromosomal translocation: t (11; 22), (p13; q12). As to its treatment, it is mostly recommended to follow a multimodal aggressive one. We present the case of a man, whose atypicality is due to his advanced age (63 years old) and the symptoms he presents (lumbar ache).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Terrorist urban mass casualty incidents (MCI) in the last 3 years have targeted commuter trains at rush hour, producing large numbers of casualties. Civilian care providers are usually not familiar with the types of blast injuries sustained by victims of these MCI. METHODS We focus on the injury patterns sustained by casualties of the Madrid, 11 March 2004, terrorist bombings, at the seven hospitals that received most victims. Data were gathered of casualties who had injuries other than superficial bruises, transient hearing loss from barotrauma without eardrum perforation, and/or emotional shock. The degree of severity in critical patients was assessed with the ISS. RESULTS The bombings resulted in 177 immediate fatalities, 9 early deaths, and 5 late deaths. Most survivors had noncritical injuries, but 72 (14%) of 512 casualties assessed had an Injury Severity Score (ISS) >15. The critical mortality rate was of 19.5%. The most frequently injured body regions were the head-neck and face. Almost 50% of casualties had ear-drum perforation, and 60% of them were bilateral. There were 43 documented cases of blast lung injury, with a survival rate of 88.3%. Maxillofacial and open long-bone fractures were most prevalent. Gustillo's grade III of severity predominated in tibia-fibular and humeral fractures. Upper thoracic fractures (D1-6 segment) represented 65% of all vertebral fractures and were associated with severe blast to the torso. Severe burns were uncommon. Eye injuries were frequent, although most were of a mild-to-moderate severity. Abdominal visceral lesions were present in 25 (5%) patients. A multidisciplinary approach was necessary in most operated patients, and orthopedic trauma procedures accounted for 50% of the caseload in the first 24 h. CONCLUSIONS Ninety-three percent of the fatalities of the Madrid trains terrorist bombings were immediate, and most survivors had noncritical injuries. Closed doors increased the immediate fatality rate in the trains. Severely wounded casualties presented specific patterns of injuries, some of them life-threatening and unusual in other types of trauma mechanisms. Ear-lobe amputations and upper thoracic spine fractures were markers of critical injuries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to review the incidence, treatment and outcome of severe pelvic fractures, as well as associated injuries, in our center. PATIENTS AND METHOD We performed a retrospective study of patients included in our trauma registry between June 1993 and January 2005. Pelvic fractures were classified according to the system proposed by Tile. Clinical and demographic data such as age, gender, mechanism of injury, transfer time, hemodynamic status, and trauma scores were compared and analyzed statistically. Shock was defined as a systolic blood pressure of < or = 90 mmHg during the primary assessment. Mortality and associated risk factors were analyzed, with emphasis on patients in shock on admission. RESULTS Of 1274 patients with severe trauma admitted during the study period, 192 (15%) had pelvic fracture. Only 6.7% were isolated fractures and 6% were open fractures. Twenty percent of the patients were in shock on admission. The mean Injury Severity Score of the series was 28.5 +/- 14 and that of patients in shock was 38 +/- 16. The most frequently associated injuries were thoracic (70%), abdominal (55%), long bone fractures (52%), and head injuries (40%). Twenty-three percent of the patients had retroperitoneal hematoma. Arteriograms were performed in 16 patients, with four embolizations. Eight patients underwent external orthopedic fixation, and none posterior orthopedic fixation. Five patients underwent pelvic packing and two patients underwent ligation of hypogastric arteries. Overall mortality was 30% and mortality in patients in shock was 61%. Predictors of mortality were shock on admission, a Glasgow Coma Scale score of < or = 8, ISS > 25 and age > 55 years. CONCLUSIONS Patients in shock with pelvic fractures have a poor prognosis in our center, frequently related to the severity of associated injuries, the relative rarity of these fractures, and the lack of a clearly defined management protocol. The main cause of death was massive hemorrhage.

Abstract
Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, and type II (cholecystocholedochal fistula) can be a technical challenge due to inflammation and the biliary duct defect. We report two cases that were treated with a simple and little known technique that uses the round ligament as a plasty to seal the large bile duct defect.

Abstract
At 07:39 on 11 March 2004, 10 terrorist bomb explosions occurred almost simultaneously in four commuter trains in Madrid, Spain, killing 177 people instantly and injuring more than 2000. There were 14 subsequent in-hospital deaths, bringing the ultimate death toll to 191. This report describes the organization of clinical management and patterns of injuries in casualties who were taken to the closest hospital, with an emphasis on the critically ill. A total of 312 patients were taken to the hospital and 91 patients were hospitalized, of whom 89 (28.5%) remained in hospital for longer than 24 hours. Sixty-two patients had only superficial bruises or emotional shock, but the remaining 250 patients had more severe injuries. Data on 243 of these 250 patients form the basis of this report. Tympanic perforation occurred in 41% of 243 victims with moderate-to-severe trauma, chest injuries in 40%, shrapnel wounds in 36%, fractures in 18%, first-degree or second-degree burns in 18%, eye lesions in 18%, head trauma in 12% and abdominal injuries in 5%. Between 08:00 and 17:00, 34 surgical interventions were performed in 32 patients. Twenty-nine casualties (12% of the total, or 32.5% of those hospitalized) were deemed to be in a critical condition, and two of these died within minutes of arrival. The other 27 survived to admission to intensive care units, and three of them died, bringing the critical mortality rate to 17.2% (5/29). The mean Injury Severity Score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores for critically ill patients were 34 and 23, respectively. Among these critically ill patients, soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries predominated in 85% of cases, ear blast injury was identified in 67% and blast lung injury was present in 63%. Fifty-two per cent suffered head trauma. Over-triage to the closest hospital probably occurred, and the time of the blasts proved to be crucial to the the adequacy of the medical and surgical response. The number of blast lung injuries seen is probably the largest reported by a single institution, and the critical mortality rate was reasonably low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palliative colostomy is still unavoidable in many patients with malignant obstruction of the left colon. This report describes an initial experience and follow-up in a small series of patients with left-sided colon obstruction in whom transanal self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) placement was attempted for palliative purposes. METHODS Palliative transanal SEMS placement was attempted in 11 patients with malignant obstruction of the rectosigmoid region. The selection criteria included patients with advanced pelvic disease, peritoneal carcinomatosis and/or multiple parenchymatous metastatic disease. Wallstent oesophageal endoprostheses were used, and the technique was carried out by interventional radiologists. RESULTS The technique succeeded in relieving the obstruction in seven patients, and surgical intervention was prevented in six. Five of these six patients died with an unobstructed colon from 26 days to 7 months after SEMS placement. The technique failed in four patients, three of whom underwent emergency colostomy. CONCLUSION Transanal SEMS placement is an appealing method for the relief of obstruction in selected patients, obviating the need for palliative colostomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our aim was to assess the value of a parasympathomimetic drug (neostigmine) in the early resolution of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie's syndrome). METHODS A prospective study was undertaken in 18 consecutive patients (mean age, 76 (range, 31-87) years) with acute colonic pseudo-obstruction. After a varying period of conservative treatment in all cases, 16 patients with persistent, massive abdominal distention were given intravenous neostigmine. RESULTS A rapid and satisfactory clinical and radiologic decompression of the large bowel was obtained in 12 patients (75 percent) after a single dose of the drug; another patient had complete resolution after a second dose, and the other 3 patients had only partial resolution, in one of them after a second dose of the drug. No patient required surgical decompression of the bowel. CONCLUSION These results give support to the theory of excessive parasympathetic suppression in most cases of Ogilvie's syndrome. The treatment with intravenous neostigmine has proved very effective, preventing in many cases prolonged periods of uncomfortable and potentially hazardous conventional conservative management and avoiding surgical treatment in a consecutive series of patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of prehospital advanced life support (PALS) on the survival of victims of severe trauma in our hospital. During a period of 24 months, 46 patients with severe trauma were admitted to our Emergency Department after receiving PALS; this included endotracheal intubation and ventilatory support (IVS) in 35 cases, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in 11. The severity of the trauma in this group of patients was confirmed by assessing the clinical condition on admission and the Glasgow Coma Scale score (mean = 4.0, median = 3), the Revised Trauma score (mean = 4.1, median = 4) and the Injury Severity Score (mean = 44.5 and median = 41 in blunt trauma; mean = 58.3 and median = 75 in penetrating trauma). The overall survival was 41%. The survival rate was 48% in patients with prehospital IVS rate and 18% in those receiving CPR. We conclude that PALS in severe trauma was able to save the lives of many patients at high risk of dying before reaching hospital.

Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa or Verneuil's disease is usually a chronic, recurrent, suppurative and cicatricial disorder. It most often affects the skin of the axillae, groins and perineum, and less commonly the buttocks and upper thighs. A squamous cell carcinoma located in the hidradenitis-affected area is a rare complication. We present a review of the twenty-six published cases adding one of our own.
