Abstract
Abstract
One hundred and ten cases of upper abdominal injuries have been reviewed. A significant proportion of them is retroperitoneal. It will be shown that an increased awareness of the importance of vague physical signs and the willingness to submit these patients to relevant investigations will result in an accurate diagnosis. A more logical and often vigorous approach to treatment has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the morbidity and mortality associated with such injuries.
