Abstract: Eighty‐five patients who suffered blunt trauma to the small intestine and/or to the colon were treated at either the Royal Brisbane Hospital (RBH), Brisbane, Queensland or the Flinders Medical Centre (FMC), Adelaide, South Australia, between 1980 and 1991.

Essa sintomatologia inespecífica também contribui para o atraso no diagnóstico e no tratamento, fato considerado o principal responsável pelos altos índices de morbimortalidade relacionados à essas lesões 8 .…”
