Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abdominal trauma, both blunt and sharp, is a major public problem and constitutes one of the serious and major surgical emergencies for surgeons worldwide. Frequently, more obvious multiple injuries to head, thorax and extremities may mask the blunt abdominal trauma. A better understanding of the etiology and pattern of such injuries can help to improve the management and outcome of these patients. Blunt trauma abdomen is more common in males in age group of 21-30 years and majority of injuries are due to road traffic accidents. Solid organs of upper abdomen such as spleen and liver are primarily injuried in blunt trauma abdomen. In penetrating injuries small intestine is most frequently injuried. About 15% of all pelvic fractures are associated with concomitant bladder and urethral injuries. A direct blow to lower abdomen may result in bladder disruption; mainly intra peritoneal. This study was done to determine the incidence of trauma abdomen and its various parameters like age, sex, mode of injury, its radiological findings and detail of visceral injuries and patients' outcome.
