Abdominal trauma can cause serious life-threatening injuries and may not be treatable because immediate symptoms may not be apparent. The membranous peritoneum surrounds some organs suspended from the abdominal wall, while the kidneys, pancreas, vena cava, aorta, and duodenum have additional protective effects. They are located in the retroperitoneal space and partially covered by the peritoneum. The lack of bone protection in the abdominal region makes the potential organs and surrounding structures vulnerable to blunt trauma. Although damage to the outside of the body may be small, there may be life-threatening internal injuries. During the initial examination, the examiner may ignore some of the subtle symptoms associated with abdominal damage. It is important for him to take a series of tests in hours and days.
