Popis:	The general surgical consequences of the M1 Kegworth air crash are described. Considering the severe nature of the injuries sustained by the survivors, surprisingly few required general surgical intervention. Intra-abdominal injuries were rare despite the abdomen's apparent vulnerability to injury; only five laparotomies were performed. However, 30 (34%) of survivors demonstrated significant bruising from lap belts and 13 patients had haematuria. The majority of operations carried out were orthopaedic related.
