Abstract:
Viscus perforation in the context of blunt-force abdominal trauma is a rarity. Within a sporting context, it is especially rare. However, the increasing physicality observed in rugby union, both in the amateur and professional setting, has resulted in a higher rate of serious injury. We report a novel laparoscopic surgical approach to the management of a traumatic jejunal perforation sustained on the playing field in a previously fit and healthy 28-year-old.
