AI Article Synopsis
- Thoracic and abdominal injuries from air weapons are less common than those from gunshot wounds.
- Pneumatic weapons can still cause serious and potentially deadly injuries despite being smaller and lighter.
- The article presents three clinical cases of patients with different internal injuries and recommends a specific diagnostic and surgical approach for treatment.
Article Abstract
Thoracic and abdominal injuries caused air weapons are rarer compared with gunshot wounds. Nevertheless, pneumatic weapons are able to inflict potentially fatal lesions despite small mass and dimension of projectile. Three clinical cases of patients with various internal injuries are presented in the article. Differentiated diagnostic and surgical approach is suggested.

Robot-assisted pancreaticobiliary junction resection is a surgical technique employed to treat benign duodenal tumors. The procedure involves several key steps: making a longitudinal incision in the duodenum, excising the tumor at the pancreaticobiliary junction, inserting a biliary stent, connecting the biliary and duodenal mucosa, and suturing the duodenal incision during phase I. The robotic system enhances visibility, facilitates precise operations, minimizes duodenal traction injuries to the duodenum and surgical trauma, ensures accurate suture and fixation of bile duct stents, connects the bile duct and duodenal mucosa and reduces postoperative recovery time.

Penetrating thoracic injuries, especially those affecting cardiac structures, are rare but can be life-threatening, requiring urgent medical care. Right atrium injuries pose significant risks, including rapid blood loss, cardiac tamponade, hemodynamic instability, and, subsequently, potential death. We report the case of a 24-year-old male patient with stab wounds leading to a right-sided chest penetration three hours prior to presentation.

Blunt abdominal trauma causing intraperitoneal injury and/or bleeding can be life-threatening, requiring immediate intervention. Diagnosing these cases can be challenging, especially when pre-existing conditions are involved. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare tumor of the appendix that can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei.
