Abstract
Vascular abdominal injuries of major vessels in zone 1 abdominal cavity are the most common cause of death after penetrating abdominal trauma. Abdominal arterial and vein injuries occur with the same incidence. Patients with retroperitoneal vascular injury and intact retroperitoneum may present hemodynamically stable due to tamponade. The main goal of staged approach is to control any major haemorrhage into the abdomen until the patient is hemodynamically stabilized in the ICU and reconstruction can be done in final reoperation. Multidisciplinary management is imperative to prevent the “lethal triad” and assures the best optimal outcome for these critically wounded patients.
