Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Management of abdominal injuries in children has evolved considerably in recent years. Nonoperative treatment of children with blunt abdominal trauma is successful in more than 95% of appropriately selected cases if trauma care providers have a thorough knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the growing child. A study of 30 cases of blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) in paediatric age group was carried out over a span of 3 years. All patients were subjected to various investigations except for 3 cases in which patients were unstable.7 patients underwent laparotomy and surgical decision was based on the clinical findings and CT grade of injury. The rest 23 cases were managed conservatively. The nonoperative management in BAT was successful in more than 70% and nonoperative management reduced the hospital stay and morbidity.
