AIMS: To compare specific features and prognosis of polytrauma victims requiring urgent laparotomy, after a free fall from a height (FFH) or a motor vehicle accident (MVA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Urgent laparotomy was performed only in case of massive hemoperitoneum associated with hemodynamic instability. Injury severity score (ISS) and hospital mortality rate were used to determine the severity of trauma. RESULTS: Two hundred and four patients underwent urgent laparotomy for blunt abdominal trauma: 79 after FFH (intentional defenestration: 65, accident: 14), and 125 after a MVA. Mean ISS was higher after FFH (39 +/- 11) than MVA (35 +/- 12) (P Language: fr |
