Abstract:
Blunt abdominal trauma is a common result of road traffic accidents and may lead to internal injuries involving both solid organs and hollow viscera. Gastric perforations following such trauma are rare and can present significant diagnostic and management challenges. This report describes a 19-year-old male who sustained a gastric perforation after a motorcycle collision. An exploratory laparotomy revealed the perforation, which was surgically repaired with primary suturing and an omental patch. The patient recovered well postoperatively, with no complications, and was discharged in stable condition.
