  • Title: Transvaginal injury of the duodenum, diaphragm, and lung.
    Author: Grindlinger GA, Vester SR.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1987 May; 27(5):575-6. PubMed ID: 3573118.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of transvaginal impalement is presented. At initial exploration the broad ligament and vagina were repaired. When bile drained from suction catheters reexploration revealed an injury to the duodenum and diaphragm. Wounds that penetrate the vagina may injure nonpelvic viscera. Vaginal penetrating wounds should be managed like other abdominal penetrating injuries.
