Core Tip

Core Tip: Blunt-force closed abdominal injury is a prevalent clinical condition. Gallbladder injury directly caused by blunt violence in the abdomen is rare, and isolated traumatic gallbladder injury is even rarer. No literature study has determined the likelihood of solitary traumatic gallbladder injury in closed abdominal injury. Therefore, in the diagnosis and treatment of closed abdominal trauma, gallbladder injury is easy to be ignored by clinicians because gallbladder injury is rare. If undiagnosed and untreated, it can cause significant consequences, including death.
