Core Tip
Core Tip: Motorcycle accidents often result in abdominal trauma. Owing to the protective function of the anterior rib cage, gastric rupture is rare. We present a case of a 21-year-old man involved in a collision after consuming a large meal, leading to multiple gastric ruptures and pancreatic, splenic, and hepatic injuries. Surgical interventions included primary closure of the gastric wall, splenectomy, and partial hepatectomy. Despite the severity, the patient recovered after receiving appropriate postoperative care. This report underscores the importance of prompt surgical interventions for managing traumatic gastric injuries and ensuring favorable outcomes, even in complex cases.
