The etiology is presented (76 closed and 14 open), the degree of lesion, associated intra and extra-abdominal lesions plus the results (12.2% mortality) and causes of death related to the degree of lesion and associated lesion. Finally, our casuistics and results are compared with those appearing in the existing bibliography on the subject.
