Abdominal trauma
The majority of abdominal injury is caused by blunt trauma.
The diagnosis of abdominal trauma may be difficult; the clinician must be prepared for immediate interventions where the disorder is clear, but equally must be prepared to wait and repeatedly reassess a difficult patient.
It is useful to divide abdominal trauma into:
- non-penetrating trauma
- penetrating trauma
