Diagnosis and tactics in abdominal injuries.
Abdominal trauma has a high priority in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with multiple injuries. Both blunt and penetrating injuries may be isolated or multiple and they are often combined with extraabdominal trauma. A close  cooperation between surgical and other specialties is often needed. Transport from a smaller hospital to a center with full diagnostic and therapeutic facilities may be advantageous.
