Abstract

Abdominal trauma, the third most common cause of death after head, neck and chest injuries.%10 of trauma related deaths develops due to abdominal injury. Computed Tomography (CT) has been paving the biggest factor in the way for nonoperative treatment of blunt solid organ injuries. CT exposes accurately to the anatomy of injuries. It is provide very important information about, the amount of intraperitoneal fluid, retroperitoneal structures, and the gastrointestinal system. Today, it is very difficult the realization of solid organ injury with conservative treatment without CT. CT provides a significant contribution staging of trauma liver, spleen, kidney, pancreas and digestive tract, treatment and follow-up.

Abstract

Karın travmaları; baş, boyun ve toraks travmalarından sonra üçüncü en sık ölüm nedenidir. Travmalara bağlı ölümlerin yaklaşık % 10' u abdominal yaralanmalara bağlı gelişir. Künt solid organ yaralanmalarının nonoperatif tedavisinin önünü açan en büyük faktör Bilgisayarlı Tomografi(BT) olmuştur. BT, yaralanmaların anatomisini doğru bir şekilde ortaya koyar. İntraperitoneal sıvının miktarı, retroperitoneal yapılar ve gastrointestinal sistem hakkında çok önemli bilgiler verir. Günümüzde BT olmadan solid organ yaralanmalarının konservatif tedavisinin gerçekleştirilmesi çok güçtür. BT karaciğer, dalak, böbrek, pankreas ve sindirim borusunun travma sonrası evrelemesi tedavi ve takibinde önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır.
