This excellently illustrated reference work provides a comprehensive overview of the imaging and management of abdominal trauma. Detailed attention is paid to pathophysiology, clinical symptoms and findings, all relevant imaging modalities and other tests employed to evaluate abdominal injuries at the time of admission of the trauma victim. Types of management described in depth include: surgical, conservative, interventional radiological, and endoscopic. Posttraumatic complications are discussed, including those arising from treatment. There are also general chapters on patient resuscitation, logistics, and medicolegal issues.
