Abdominal trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, frequently leading to intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. The mechanisms of injury are diverse, encompassing blunt and penetrating trauma resulting from vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, assaults, domestic violence, and industrial accidents. In the United States, blunt abdominal trauma is more prevalent and often involves injuries to solid organs like the spleen, liver, and kidneys, as well as hollow viscera such as the intestines. Penetrating trauma, while less common, can be life-threatening and typically requires surgical intervention.
