  • Title: Gastric rupture as a result of blunt trauma.
    Author: Siemens RA, Fulton RL.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1977 Apr; 43(4):229-33. PubMed ID: 851294.
    Abstract:
    Six patients with gastric rupture secondary to blunt abdominal trauma are presented in detail. The salient features of each case are briefly discussed, along with a further analysis of the review by Yajko and colleagues. The aggressive operative treatment of these patients is emphasized along with the vigorous attention that must be given to postoperative intra-abdominal sepsis caused by the initial contamination leading to morbidity and mortality.
