📄 Abstract
Introduction: pelvic trauma associated with abdominal injury represents a life-threatening condition frequently resulting from high-energy mechanisms and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Its management requires a multidisciplinary approach due to the frequent coexistence of skeletal, vascular, and visceral injuries. Objective: to analyze current evidence regarding multidisciplinary management strategies and clinical outcomes in patients with pelvic trauma associated with abdominal injury. Methods: a narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, including studies published between 2010 and 2026. Keywords included pelvic trauma, abdominal injury, polytrauma, and damage control. Studies addressing adult patients, management strategies, and clinical outcomes were included. Results: pelvic trauma associated with abdominal injury is commonly caused by high-energy mechanisms such as motor vehicle collisions and falls from height. Mortality ranges between 10% and 40%, particularly in patients with hemorrhagic shock. The most frequent associated injuries involve the spleen, liver, bowel, and genitourinary system. Early hemorrhage control strategies such as pelvic stabilization, packing, and angioembolization are associated with improved survival. Multidisciplinary management improves diagnostic speed, hemorrhage control, and overall outcomes. Conclusions: pelvic trauma associated with abdominal injury requires an integrated multidisciplinary approach to reduce mortality and improve functional outcomes. Early identification, damage control strategies, and coordinated care remain essential in modern trauma systems.
