Detailed explanation-1: -Penetrating abdominal trauma may involve peritoneal breaches, such as stabbing and gunshot wounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abdominal trauma is an injury to the abdomen. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, rigidity, and bruising of the external abdomen. Complications may include blood loss and infection. Diagnosis may involve ultrasonography, computed tomography, and peritoneal lavage, and treatment may involve surgery.
