Clinical profile of hollow viscous injury
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Injuries to the small bowel are present in approximately 25-30% of the patients who require laparotomy after penetrating trauma. Stab injuries are usually less severe than gunshot or blunt mechanisms of injury. In most patients who sustain stab wounds the small bowel is spared because the mobility of small bowel afforded by the redundant mesentery, allows the intestine to slide away from an offending knife blade. This study consists of all penetrating abdominal injuries admitted in the trauma ward of government hospital. Once the patient is admitted the name, age, sex and mode of injury are noted. The time interval between injury and admission and time interval between admission and surgery are recorded. The incidence of hollow viscous injury in 29 cases accounting about 58%. Different organs injured in the study, small bowel tops the list with 10 cases. This is followed by the stomach and liver injury – accounting to 8 cases each, there were 4 cases of spleen, duodenum, and Retroperitoneal hematomas, 3 cases of transverse colon and 3 cases of sigmoid colon, 3 cases of diaphragmatic injuries, 2 cases of pancreas and 1 case of caecum injury.
