Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Surgical outcomes
  • Injury patterns

Background:

  • Penetrating buttock trauma presents a significant clinical challenge due to potential involvement of multiple organ systems.
  • Effective management requires a thorough understanding of the anatomical structures at risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review institutional experience with penetrating buttock trauma.
  • To determine the frequency of associated system injuries.
  • To analyze morbidity and mortality, and provide management recommendations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients with penetrating buttock trauma.
  • Analysis of system injuries, operative procedures, and patient outcomes.
  • Identification of common injury patterns and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Soft tissue injuries were the most frequent among 56 system injuries identified.
  • Operative procedures included wound care, rectal, orthopedic, vascular, genitourinary, and neurosurgical interventions.
  • No deaths occurred; morbidity included nerve injury, stroke, and impotence.

Conclusions:

  • Penetrating buttock trauma necessitates a comprehensive, multisystem approach for evaluation and management.
  • Understanding potential system involvement guides prompt and effective patient care.
  • Early recognition and intervention can mitigate significant morbidity.
