The majority of cases comprise abdominal TRAUMA. This study was performed to determine individual and pathologic characteristics of patients with blunt abdominal TRAUMA in Gorgan – Iran.Materials & Methods: This descriptive and retrospective study was done on 239 patients with blunt abdominal TRAUMA in 5 Azar hospital, Gorgan - Iran from March 2001 to March 2005.Results: 197 (82.4%) of cases were male and 42 (17.6%) were female. The mean age of patients was 23.4 years. The mean of hospital stay was 8.8 days. The most common cause of blunt abdominal TRAUMA was traffic injury. The most common damaged organs were SPLEEN (49.4%) and LIVER (21.3%) respectively. Mortality rate was 16.3%.
