Traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWH) occur in less than one percent of trauma presentations. In the absence clinical guidelines, management is centre-specific and largely dependent on surgeon experience. This study describes TAWH a high volume Australian centre. A single centre retrospective cohort was performed. Adults with as result blunt trauma, between January 2016 July 2020, were includ...

Complete ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) disruption is a rare finding after blunt abdominal trauma. High clinical suspicion and close attention to imaging studies are needed to avoidmissing a UPJ disruption during initial evaluation. In high grade renal trauma, the best imaging modality to detect collecting system injury and urinary extravasation is computed tomography (CT) scanwith delayed excret...

OBJECTIVES To determine the cause, presentation, anatomical distribution, diagnostic method, management and outcome of intestinal injuries from blunt abdominal trauma. METHODS The study included 47 patients who underwent laparotomy for intestinal injuries from blunt abdominal trauma over a period of 4 years. A retrospective study was conducted and the patients were analyzed with respect to th...

BACKGROUND In recent years there has been increasing interest shown in the nonoperative management (NOM) of blunt traumatic injury. The growing use of NOM for blunt abdominal organ injury has been made possible because of the progress made in the quality and availability of the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scan and the development of minimally invasive intervention options such as a...

Traumatic injury to the extrahepatic biliary system is rare and usually diagnosed at laparotomy when it is associated with other visceral injuries. Isolated gallbladder rupture due to blunt abdominal trauma is even rarer. The clinical presentation of gallbladder injury is variable, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Awareness to the possibility of trauma to the extrahepatic biliar...

The gallbladder is a relatively well-protected organ; consequently its rupture following blunt abdominal injury is rare and usually associated with other visceral injuries. Isolated gallbladder rupture is extremely rare. We report a healthy Nigerian adult male who sustained isolated gallbladder rupture following blunt abdominal injury from riding a motor cycle (Okada). A high index of suspicion...

A 32-year-old man sustained an isolated perforation of the gallbladder following blunt abdominal trauma. A preoperative diagnosis was made on an ultrasound scan, which showed a pericholecystic fluid collection only. At laparotomy, a gallbladder perforation at the infundibulum was identified with a localised bile collection, warranting a cholecystectomy. Isolated gallbladder injury from blunt ab...

BACKGROUND This study was carried out to estimate the prevalence, severity and mode of splenic trauma and management technique from amongst the abdominal trauma cases admitted in Ayub Teaching Hospital. METHODS The study was carried out at Surgery units of Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, the only referral hospital for major trauma cases, from July 2001 to Dec. 2002. One hundred consecutiv...

Renal artery thrombosis secondary to blunt abdominal trauma is distinctly rare. We report three cases of unilateral real artery thrombosis patients in our hospital and analyze its clinical diagnosis, therapeutic to the literature on the subject. In light of the classification of traumatic renal pedicle is not very distinct yet, we classify renal artery thrombosis for blunt abdominal trauma as a...
