Objective: To discuss the application of damage control surgery (DCS) in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury combined with multiple injuries. Methods: The clinical data of 69 severe traumatic brain injury combined with multiple injuries patients who were treated with DCS were reviewed retrospectively. The concept and complications of DCS in treatment of severe traumatic brain injury combined with multiple injuries patients are summarized. Results: There are 69 pa- tients, who've been followed up 6 months. According to Glasgow outcome score method, 31 cases recovered well, 8 cases moderate disability, 19 cases severe disability, 4 cases vegetative state, 6 cases death. Conclusions: Application of damage control surgery in severe traumatic brain injury combined with multiple injuries can improve the rescue efficiency and decrease the mortality.
