A case of selective non-operative management of penetrating gunshot wound injury of the liver and kidney in a pregnant patient
Abstract
This case report focuses on the application of selective non operative management (SNOM) of penetrating abdominal trauma in a complex patient who was also pregnant at the time of injury. It goes on to contextualize SNOM in terms of its historical evolution as a strategy in South Africa and its appropriate safe application in the pregnant patient.
