What is Blunt injuries to the abdomen and explain in detail?
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Rarely need urgent laparotomy Non operative treatment is the rule rather than exception Schwaz writes- "Over the past 20 years there has been a remarkable change in management practices and operative approach for the injured patient. With the advent of CT scanning, nonoperative management of solid organ injuries has replaced routine operative exploration. Those patients who do require operation may be treated with less radical resection techniques such as splenorrhaphy or paial nephrectomy. Colonic injuries, previously mandating colostomy, are now repaired primarily in viually all cases. Additionally, the type of anastomosis has shifted from a double-layer closure to a continuous running single-layer closure; this method is technically equivalent to and faster than the interrupted multilayer techniques. Adoption of damage control surgical techniques in physiologically deranged patients has resulted in limited initial operative time, with definitive injury repair delayed until after resuscitation in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) with physiologic restoration. Abdominal drains, once considered mandatory for parenchymal injuries and some anastomoses, have disappeared; fluid collections are managed by percutaneous techniques."
