Abstract

Twenty-two children with significant blunt abdominal trauma who were admitted to the Surgical Service of an active city-county hospital over the past ten years are presented with discussion of their injuries and treatment. The two mortalities (9%) are presented as case reports. On patient with severe multiple trauma had residual brain damage, and one other patient required a secondary procedure for complications subsequent to the original injury. The results represent an improvement in both complications and mortality when compared to previous reports from similar institutions.
