Double Transabdominal Impalement Injury Without Major Vascular and Visceral Trauma: A Sui Generis

Abstract

Impalement injury is one of the most gruesome forms of injury that can occur and death of the individual at the site of happenstance is almost certain due to trauma to major visceral and vascular structures and if at all he does manage to survive to be brought to an emergency room, he incurs the storm of uncontrolled haemorrhage, severe sepsis, metabolic and haemodynamic disturbances which pose a considerable threat for intra-operative and post-operative wellbeing. A timely, systematic, prudent multimodality can be of great assistance for patient survival as is presented in this case of impalement abdominal injury in the right iliac fossa region.
