Aim: To determine the blunt abdominal trauma and its complications at a tertiary care centre in Gujarat. Materials and methods: The results of this research were based on the participation of fifty people who had had abdominal injuries. Individuals who had suffered acute abdominal injuries were admitted to the hospital and received medical care there. In addition to a physical examination, a comprehensive clinical history, X-rays, and laboratory testing, an ultrasound was performed in order to come at a conclusion on the patient's condition. Results: The most prevalent clinical manifestation was pain in the abdomen, which occurred in 86% of instances. This was followed by abdominal guarding and stiffness, which occurred in 78% of cases, followed by distension (54%), shock (32%), and hematuria, which occurred in 4% of cases. The liver was the most often wounded organ, occurring in 14 (28%) of the cases, while the spleen was the second most frequently injured organ, occurring in 8 (16%) of the cases. In 14% and 12% of the patients, respectively, the small bowel and retro peritoneum were damaged. Damage to the kidney occurred in 10% of instances, injury to the large bowel occurred in 6% of cases, injury to the mesentery occurred in 6% of cases, injury to the diaphragm and bladder occurred in 4% of cases and 2% of cases respectively, and injury to the pancreas occurred in just 2% of cases. Out of 50 instances, conservative treatment was used for 30 (60%) of them, whereas surgical treatment was used for 20 (40%) of them. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study paper, blunt abdominal trauma is a significant source of morbidity and death in young patients, with road traffic accidents being the most prevalent contributing factor
