A STUDY OF INCIDENCE OF ABDOMINAL VISCERAL INJURIES IN BLUNT TRAUMA ABDOMEN

Abstract :

A recognition of the typical patterns of injury coupled with a logical sequence for the initial assessment and management of trauma patients contribute to reductions in mortality and morbidity. The shift from routine operative to selective nonoperative management of blunt injuries to abdominal solid organs is one of the most notable trends in the care of trauma patients during the past two decades. In blunt trauma, the most commonly injured intra-abdominal organ is spleen but in our study small bowel was most commonly involved. This notable difference should be evaluated to assess the pattern of visceral injuries and their outcome in our country This finding has to be confirmed by the prospective studies and this will also probably find factors causing difference in the trend.
