“…Uno de los resultados más interesantes de nuestro registro es la baja proporción de traumas cerrados de abdomen que observamos (33%), lo que contrasta con los datos de reportes europeos (87-90%) 11,12 , asiáticos (64-95%) [23][24][25] , australianos (75-83%) 13 y norteamericanos 14 , en los que los accidentes de tráfico y las caídas representan la principal causa de trauma abdominal. En contraste, reportamos una alta proporción de traumas penetrantes de abdomen (67%), que se corresponde con las realidades de otros países como Brasil (69-78%) 16,17 globalmente 13,20 , estas diferencias se explican más por las condiciones sociales, económicas y de violencia de países como México y Brasil, además del escaso control sobre el acceso a armas de fuego en la población civil 2,5,6,19 .…”

El trauma es una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad en el mundo. El abdomen es, en frecuencia, la tercera región anatómica más afectada, y el compartimento intraabdominal es un sitio de hemorragia difícil de identificar, por lo que cobra importancia el conocimiento de las posibles lesiones tras un traumatismo. objetivos: Describir y analizar el perfil sociodemográfico y las lesiones encontradas en pacientes con trauma abdominal en un hospital de referencia del occidente de México. Método: Se seleccionaron para su análisis los pacientes incluidos en el registro hospitalario local GDL-SHOT. Resultados: De 4961 pacientes, el 91.4% fueron hombres, con un promedio de edad de 28.7 años. Respecto al mecanismo, el 39.7% correspondió a arma blanca, el 33% a trauma cerrado y el 27.3% a arma de fuego. Los órganos más afectados fueron el intestino delgado (20.9%), el hígado (18.2%) y el colon (14.2%). La estancia hospitalaria promedio fue de 6.95 días, con una mortalidad del 6.74%. Conclusiones: En México, el trauma abdominal representa una causa importante de morbimortalidad, en especial en pacientes jóvenes, y predomina el mecanismo penetrante; el manejo más común es no conservador. La frecuencia de lesiones encontradas es discordante con la literatura de otros países y predominan las de vísceras huecas, probablemente por la diferencia en los mecanismos implicados.
