The Digestive Tract Injury Secondary to Abdominal Blunt: Diagnosis and Management in Teaching Hospital of Kara (Togo)

Abstract

The abdominal blunt is a common emergency. They occur most often in a context of polytrauma and regularly cause damage to the full intraabdominal organs with frequency of spleen and liver. Bowels injuries are rare. Their diagnosis is difficult and later because of the early poor symptomatology, leading to delayed management with consequent high morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study is to report our experience of the management of posttraumatic bowels injuries at Kara University Hospital (Togo).
