Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Trauma is the leading cause of death under forty, with abdominal injuries comprising 10% of these fatalities. This prospective cross-sectional study evaluates the role of computed tomography (CT) in evaluation of abdominal trauma by analyzing 50 patients (43 males, 7 females) over two years. CT was performed and ndings guided treatment decisions. Results revealed that the spleen was the most commonly injured organ (40%), followed by the liver (35.3%), with road trafc accidents being the primary cause (72%). Single organ injuries were more prevalent (70%) than multiple organ injuries (30%). Most injuries were Grade III, with 68% managed conservatively and 32% requiring surgery. This study conrms critical role of CT in reducing unnecessary surgeries, thereby decreasing morbidity and mortality in abdominal trauma cases.
