Non Operative Management in Blunt Injury Abdomen, Our Experience at a Tertiary Centre – A Case Series
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Trauma is one of the leading causes of mortality at all age group. Blunt trauma to abdomen is one of the leading cause of death in young. BAT can remain silent after initial injury only to present later with clinical deterioration and can be almost always fatal if not intervened. Liver and spleen are the commonly injured solid organs. Over the past few decades, there is a transition of trend in management from operative procedures to non-operative management as the former carried more mortality and morbidity. NOM has become the widely accepted standard practice of management for BAT. This case series is our institutional experience in the NOM of hemodynamically stable blunt liver, spleen and pancreatic trauma patients irrespective of the severity of a single / multiple solid organ injury or other associated injuries.
