YARYURA MONTERO, José G. et al. Jejunal perforation secondary to kick during kick-boxing practice: laparoscopic management. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.3, pp.448-451. ISSN 0025-7680.
Small bowel injury in a sports setting is a rare occurrence with a paucity of reported cases. A 30-year old male patient consulted for generalized abdominal pain subsequent to secondary blunt abdominal trauma during kick-boxing practice. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a moderate amount of free fluid in both the parietocolic space and the rectovesical pouch, with perihepatic pneumoperitoneum. Emergency laparoscopy was indicated and a closure of small bowel defect was performed. Diagnosis of small bowel injuries is difficult, resulting in delayed treatment and increased mortality and morbidity.
