Penetrating Sharp Object Injury in the Gluteal Region and Small Bowel Perforation Due to Pelvic Penetration: A Case Report
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Colorectal Disease - Year 2019, Vol 29, Issue 2
Abstract
Penetrating sharp object injuries in the gluteal region are common. However, it is very rare that these injuries lead to perforation of the small bowel by pelvic penetration, which is generally overlooked. As penetration depth increases, there may be life-threatening injuries such as vascular injury, bowel injury and genitourinary injury depending on the localization of injury site. The case report addressed in the present research focuses on a patient who was admitted to the hospital because of a penetrating sharp object injury in the gluteal region.
