[Mainly abdominal "complex" polytrauma. Considerations on surgical strategy and clinical case report].

The Authors want to present un uncommon case of polytrauma managed with surgical treatment at the Trauma Center of the "A. Cardarelli" Hospital in Naples. Chest, abdomen, pelvis, and left lower limb have been severely injured. This case is so interesting because of the rareness of some lesions (i.e. diaphragm rupture) and the numerous lesions of internal organs (i.e. lungs, spleen, liver, pancreas, mesenterium) and of the bones (i.e. thigh-bone and pelvis). A very good outcome has been obtained for survival as well as for functionality and quality of life since we have strictly applied the rules for the management of the "complex" polytrauma.
