    Abstract

    To study abdominal trauma rates. This research examines the frequency of blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma-induced hollow viscus lesions. age and gender demographics also will help us comprehend stomach injury symptoms. Determine the time between injury and surgery and to evaluate treatment methods. Methods: Sixty-five patients who sought emergency care at Department of General Surgery, Ayaan Institute of Medical Sciences, Moinabad, Telangana, India between October 2021 to September 2022 for blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma due to automobile accidents, attacks with various objects, acts of interpersonal violence, or unintentional falls were observed. Those who suffered from severe abdominal discomfort but showed no signs of hollow viscus damage on imaging examinations or during surgery were excluded. Results: The initiating factor decreased with age, with 18 patients between 31 and 40 and 12 between 41 and 50. 56 of 65 patients were men, indicating a higher rate of injury among men owing to violence. Seventy-eight percent of the 65 hollow viscus injury patients had blunt trauma, whereas 13 had penetration. 25 of 42 patients had blunt hollow viscus injuries from motor vehicle accidents, 9 from falls, and 8 from attacks. Twenty-seven of 55 patients had primary perforation closure. 12 cases required resection and anastomosis. 7 serosal rips were healed without surgery. Conclusion: This study shows that blunt abdominal trauma causes hollow viscus injuries. Hence, acute abdominal trauma should be evaluated for hollow viscus injury. In questionable instances, many clinical testing, vigilant observation, and further imaging must confirm the diagnosis to accelerate surgery. Age, intestinal pollution, underlying disorders, and health define the optimum restoration method. Surgeon expertise and trauma centre facilities are most important.
