A new surgical technique for hemostasis in non-missile trauma as a result of sewing needle: a pediatric case report

Abstract

Abstract Traumas are the most important cause of mortality in the pediatric population. Bleeding is an important complication especially in traumatic brain injuries with the addition of coagulation problems. Low-velocity penetrating brain injuries have causes such as sewing needles, nails, and knives. There are few studies in the literature for this injury type. We present a surgical technique and treatment we applied to increase hemostasis in a 2-year-old pediatric patient after a sewing needle injury.
