Diaphragmatic injury is a common clinical condition, and it may be difficult to avoid diaphragmatic hernia if detection and treatment is not timely. Parasternal hernia is mostly congenital. It is relatively rare in adults, and intestinal obstruction as a complication of intrathoracic intestinal herniation occurs only rarely. We treated a patient in whom parasternal hernia occurred 2 years after thoracic injuries. We present the plain radiography and computed tomography findings of this adult patient with acute abdomen symptoms caused by parasternal hernia.

“…The desire to reduce the incidence of non‐therapeutic laparotomy led to the introduction of diagnostic peritoneal lavage in 1965 19 . Variations on the original description have been described including open, semi‐open and catheter over guide wire procedure based on the Seldinger technique 20–24 . The preferred method varies between individuals and institutions and is largely based on personal experience.…”

Two cases of haemorrhagic shock from intra‐abdominal blood loss are presented. In both cases the pulse rate and blood pressure remained in the normal range following minimal volume resuscitation, despite significant blood loss. The presentation and evaluation of patients with suspected intra‐abdominal haemorrhage following blunt abdominal trauma is discussed. The value of a high speed helical CT scanner located in the emergency department is demonstrated.

“…7,18) and clinically (lo), the exteriorized anastomosis heals just as reliably as one within the peritoneal cavity. Small, low velocity missile wounds of the colon may produce minimal tissue damage and may be sutured primarily (19). Emphasis, it seems, must be on stringent criteria for selecting cases.…”

During the 1967-9 phase of the Nigerian Civil War, 38 primary sutures of battle-injured colons were carried out, with 3 deaths, all in patients with severe concomitant injuries to the liver, diaphragm and right iliac crest. In carefully selected cases--one-third of the total--primary suture was a safe and reliable technique for dealing with battle-lacerated colons. Although there was a substantial morbidity (71 per cent) from wound sepsis, there was also a considerable reduction in the period spent in hospital.
