Popis: 1. 1. Traumatic perforation of the gastrointestinal tract by non-penetrating forces occur much more frequently than is appreciated. Five such cases are reported. 2. 2. The immediate perforations occur at the time of the accident and are recognized by the accompanying peritonitis. 3. 3. Delayed perforations occurred in 60 per cent of our cases and were not recognized until the inevitable peritonitis appeared. 4. 4. Effective therapy consists in making an early diagnosis, administering energetic shock treatment, and applying corrective measures to repair the damaged bowel.
