Abstract
GAITAN-MARTINEZ, Jimmy Alejandro; ARANGO-GIRALDO, Juan Augusto and MULETT-VASQUEZ, Edelberto. Emergency management for anal trauma. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2016, vol.55, n.4, pp. 334-339. ISSN 1561-2945.
Anal trauma is considered a low frequency trauma because it is associated with rectal trauma in statistical records. The surgical approach should be taken into account because some sequelae affecting in a very important way the future quality of life of patients may occur. A case of blunt anal trauma and the emergency management indicated were presented in this report.
Keywords : anal trauma; rectal trauma; perineal trauma; sphincteroplasty.
