Abstract:
:We have retrospectively assessed the computed tomography (CT) findings in 92 patients suffering severe blunt abdominal trauma. Surgical findings and clinical follow-up were correlated with the CT findings. In nine patients CT was first used after emergency surgery and provided baseline data which was useful for further management. In two patients CT did not demonstrate small hepatic lacerations seen during previous surgery. No deaths were recorded. In 16 patients surgery followed CT within 24 h; there was good correlation between the CT and operative findings in 10 patients. However, CT failed to detect significant solid organ injury in five patients and was misleading (false positive) in another patient. There were two deaths amongst these 16 patients. Sixty-seven haemodynamically stable patients were initially managed non-operatively. Fifteen of these 67 patients had normal CT examinations; only one had subsequent laparotomy (for reasons unconnected with the trauma) where no injury was detected; there were no deaths. Of the 52 patients with an abnormal CT examination, 43 were successfully managed non-operatively. There were three deaths, including one where an injury missed at CT contributed to the demise of the patient. After an initial trial of non-operative management, the remaining six patients went to surgery where there was good concordance with the CT findings except for one missed renal injury. Active non-operative management of blunt abdominal trauma is widely accepted in haemodynamically stable patients and this report shows how CT supports this policy of surgical restraint in such cases. However, on review CT missed 13 injuries in nine patients overall; stricter attention to technique and better equipment may lead to improved results in the future.
