Summary
Abdominal trauma is one of the most common causes among injuries caused mainly due to road traffic accidents. The knowledge in the management of blunt abdominal trauma has progressively increasing due to the in-patient data gathered from different parts of the world.[2] In spite of the best techniques and advances in diagnostic and supportive care, the morbidity and mortality remains at large. The reason for this could be due to the interval between trauma and hospitalization, delay in diagnosis, inadequate and lack of appropriate surgical treatment, post operative complications and associated trauma especially to head, thorax and extremities.
