Diagnosis and Management of Abdominal Trauma

Abstract

The optimal management of patients with abdominal injuries has been debated for decades. A descriptive study was performed and analyzed in order to have a base for a better understanding of the management of abdominal trauma patients. In this study, 100 patients admitted to Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Brasov, with blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma were analyzed. A total of 58 patients were successfully treated by conservative management without further complications. This study demonstrated that non-operative management is a possible and efficient solution for abdominal injuries. However, further research is required to determine conditions of such management and to confirm findings. Key words: abdominal trauma, non-operative management.
