“…Thus, this would lead to significant economic loss to the family, community and the nation at large. Males (86.8%) were affected more frequently in this study, and this conforms to observations from earlier studies (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). This male predominance may not be unconnected with more involvement in outdoor activities, crimes and act of violence.…”

“…The most affected in our study were in the third and fourth decades (41, 60.3%) with the mean age of 30.3 years. This is in consonance with the findings reported by other authors worldwide (9)(10)(11)(12). Those commonly affected are the physically and socially active population, as well as the economically productive workforce.…”

“…Blunt abdominal trauma accounted for the majority (72.1%) of the patients managed while penetrating abdominal trauma accounted for 27.9%. This is similar to the studies by other workers that reported more blunt injuries (11)(12)(13). However, it contrasts with some other reports which recorded more penetrating injuries (5,9,10,12).…”

“…Road traffic crashes accounted for the majority (n=41; 60.3%) of blunt trauma cases followed by fall from height (n=6; 8.8%). Similar findings were recorded in various national and international studies (10,11,13,14). Poor road infrastructure (damaged roads, lack of pedestrian walkways and road signs), bad driving habits, overloading, non-compliance with standard safety measures and lack of proper regulatory control by road enforcement agents are responsible for increased rate of accidents.…”

The gastrointestinal tract (GI) was involved in 17 (25.1%) cases and of these, the small and large bowel were the more affected segments in penetrating abdominal trauma.…”

BACKGROUNDIn spite of the advancement in medical technology, trauma remains a major health threat causing significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and cause of the various abdominal injuries and compare the incidence, management, and outcome of blunt trauma and penetrating trauma abdominal injuries. METHODSTotal 99 patients who had visited the surgery department BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur, U. P., from April 2016 to March 2017 (one-year period) were included in this prospective study. Both blunt as well as penetrating trauma patients were included in the study. After recording a detailed history, all relevant laboratory and radiological investigations were done. Depending on the initial test reports, patients underwent either operative or conservative treatment. Postoperative complications, if any, were also recorded. RESULTSIn the present study, majority of patients were in 11-20 years age group. Male to female ratio was found to be 5:1. Blunt trauma is more common than penetrating trauma with a ratio of 3.7:1, and in penetrating trauma stab injury is more common than gunshot injury with a ratio of 3:1. In blunt trauma abdomen, road traffic accident was the most common mode of injury (57.7%) followe d by falling from a height (30.8%) and assault (10.2%). In penetrating trauma abdomen, assault is the most common mode of injury (81%) followed by a road traffic accident (9.5%). Pain abdomen was the most common symptom (100%) in both groups. Most of the patients were treated by conservative management in both groups. A low mortality rate was reported in the present study (3.3%). CONCLUSIONSAbdominal trauma is one of the major health hazards among the younger male population. The most common mode of abdominal trauma is road traffic accident in the blunt trauma group, whereas in the penetrating group, gunshot and stabbing were the most common causes of injury. Conservative therapy was the most common mode of treatment in both groups. No major organ injuries were seen during radiological investigations. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Singh UC. Jina A.
