RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Surgery for cardiac trauma is considered fatal and for wounds of the colon by associated sepsis is normally considered; however, conservative management of many traumatic lesions of different injured organs has progressed over the years. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: A 65-year-old male patient presented with multiple shotgun wounds on the left upper limb, thorax, and abdomen. On evaluation, he was hemodynamically stable with normal sinus rhythm and normal blood pressure, no dyspnea, or abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest shows hematoma around the aorta without injury to the blood vessel wall with an intramyocardial projectile without pericardial effusion. CT scan of the abdomen showed pellets in the transverse colon and descending colon endoluminal without extravasation of contrast medium or intra-abdominal fluid. The patient remains hemodynamically stable, and nonsurgical procedure was established. DISCUSSION: Patients with asymptomatic intramyocardial projectiles can be safely managed without surgery. Nonsurgical management is only possible in asymptomatic patients with trauma of the colon through close surveillance and with very selective patients since standard management is surgery. CONCLUSION: Nonsurgical management of cardiac trauma, as well as colon penetrating trauma, can be performed in carefully selected patients with proper clinical follow-up, imaging, and laboratory studies.

RESUMEN

Hemicorporectomy is an ultra-radical surgery used only in extreme circumstances. Initially used for advanced pelvic neoplastic diseases and intractable pelvic infection, it may also be the only treatment option in patients with crushed pelvic trauma, in cases there are no reconstruction options. This procedure has a high mortality, and its success depends on the multidisciplinary approach, both in the initial phase and in the rehabilitation process. We present the case of a young patient with severe pelvic trauma that required a hemicorporectomy as the only treatment option and review of the literature.
