Abstract: Acute abdominal pathologies in trauma patients present significant diagnostic and management challenges, particularly in emergency and military settings. This study aims to evaluate the severity of acute abdominal conditions and explore the treatment approaches employed in trauma care. A retrospective cohort of trauma patients with acute abdominal injuries, including those with penetrating and blunt trauma, was analyzed. Key clinical outcomes such as the timing of diagnosis, severity of abdominal injury, organ dysfunction, and mortality rates were assessed. Treatment strategies, including surgical interventions such as exploratory laparotomy, hemostatic procedures, and non-invasive monitoring, were examined to determine their effectiveness in managing these pathologies. Results indicate that timely diagnosis and early intervention are critical in reducing the risk of complications, including multi-organ dysfunction and sepsis. The study found that patients with more severe injuries, particularly those with penetrating trauma, required more aggressive surgical approaches. Furthermore, the use of advanced imaging techniques, such as ultrasonography and CT scans, improved diagnostic accuracy, allowing for better management decisions. This study highlights the need for a standardized approach to diagnosing and treating acute abdominal pathologies in trauma patients, emphasizing the importance of prompt, targeted intervention to improve survival outcomes and reduce complications. It also underscores the necessity for further research into optimizing treatment protocols and improving early detection of life-threatening conditions in trauma care
