    This summary is machine-generated.

    Blunt abdominal trauma can rarely cause gallbladder avulsion, a severe injury. This case demonstrates successful surgical management of complete gallbladder detachment by ligating the cystic duct and draining the area.

    Area of Science:

    • Abdominal Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Gallbladder injury from blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon, occurring in less than 2% of cases.
    • Complete avulsion of the gallbladder from the liver, cystic duct, and artery is exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with complete gallbladder avulsion following blunt abdominal trauma.
    • Surgical intervention was necessary to address the extensive injury.

    Findings:

    • The gallbladder was completely detached from the liver, cystic duct, and artery.
    • Successful surgical treatment involved identifying and ligating the cystic duct.
    • Hemostasis was achieved by coagulating small bleeding vessels.
    • A Penrose drain was placed post-operatively.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare surgical emergency and its successful management.
    • The described technique provides a viable approach for treating total gallbladder avulsion.
    • Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for favorable outcomes in severe gallbladder trauma.
