Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1984
The proper management of abdominal injuries is essential to maximize the chances of survival of the multiply injured patient. Although the assessment of the abdomen must take place within the framework of the primary and secondary surveys of the patient, the critical management decision focuses on the need for exploratory laparotomy.

Penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT) is seen daily in our trauma ward. We present a retrospective study of the patients managed in our hospital (Polokwane Hospital, Limpopo) from January 1999 to March 2000. Epidemiology, mechanism of injury, patterns of injury, management, morbidity and overall mortality were recorded for analysis.

Penetrating trauma of the abdomen no longer warrants automatic laparotomy. Reasonably accurate clinical predictors of the need for operation should first be employed. Patients who do not meet these clinical criteria undergo a selective diagnostic approach on the basis of mechanism and site of injury and the experience and expertise of the respective ...

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1976
Three cases of blunt abdominal trauma are presented to exemplify the mechanism of trauma and the problems of diagnosis associated with any linear blow to the abdomen. The mechanisms of visceral injury are reviewed, and special attention is directed to the abdominal wall injury that can be present in these patients.

Abdominal Ultrasonography in Trauma
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1995The use of ultrasonography for the investigation of urgent diagnostic dilemmas is by no means new. Although it has been widely used for almost 40 years, during the past two decades ultrasonography has achieved a primary role in Europe and Asia in the investigation of emergent conditions such as trauma.

This paper reviews the clinical records of 99 children admitted to hospital over a 12 year period after significant abdominal trauma. Most were in the 8–10 years old age group and there were almost twice as many boys as girls. Laparotomy was necessary in one‐third of the patients. There were seven deaths in the series, all of whom had multiple injuries.

The management of patients with penetrating abdominal trauma is outlined in Figure 1. Patients with hemodynamic instability, evisceration, significant gastrointestinal bleeding, peritoneal signs, gunshot wounds with peritoneal violation, and type 2 and 3 shotgun wounds should undergo emergency laparotomy.
