An damage to the abdomen is known as abdominal trauma. Abdominal pain, tenderness, rigidity, and bruising of the external abdomen are signs and symptoms. Blood loss and infection are two possible complications. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and peritoneal lavage may be used to diagnose the condition, and surgery may be used to treat it. It comes in two varieties: blunt or penetrating, and it can cause harm to the abdominal organs. Splenic or hepatic injury might result from a lower chest injury.
