Abstract:
Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of closed abdominal injuries in infants.Methods A retrospectively analysis of the clinical data of 84 infants with closed abdominal injury was made.Results Among the 84 cases, 60 cases had closed parenchymal visceral injury (32 cases of liver and 28 cases of spleen), 10 cases had small intestine perforation, and 14 cases had soft tissue contusion of abdominal wall. Non-operative treatment was used in 27 cases of liver injury and 22 cases of splenic injury, operative treatment in 5 cases of liver injury and 6 cases of splenic injury, and operative treatment for the 10 cases of other types of injury. All the 84 infant patients were cured.Conclusions In diagnosis and treatment of closed abdominal injuries in infants, abdominal centesis, type-B ultrasound and CT should be rationally chosen and applied in order to quickly determine location and extent of visceral injury; indications for operation should be under strict control. Non-operative treatment of parenchymal visceral injury of infants is proved to be safe and with a high cure rate.
