The incident resulted in a massive hemorrhage in the liver and multiple injuries to the small intestine, colon, and gallbladder. The patient arrived at the hospital's emergency department in a critical condition, suffering from hemorrhagic shock with a mortality probability exceeding 90%. The medical team managed the case successfully using advanced damage control surgery techniques tailored for unstable and severe trauma cases. This was confirmed by Dr. Ahmed Al-Buraikan, Consultant in Critical Care, General and Laparoscopic Surgery, Trauma Surgery, and Critical Cases, and the head of the treating medical team.<br>Dr. Al-Buraikan stated that the patient was brought to the emergency department in critical condition. Upon arrival, the hospital's emergency team was immediately activated. Initial examinations revealed internal bleeding, necessitating an urgent transfer to the operating room. The team initiated an advanced resuscitation protocol (massive transfusion protocol) and performed simultaneous exploratory laparotomy and resuscitative thoracotomy. These procedures uncovered multiple injuries in the small intestine, colon, gallbladder, and severe hemorrhage in the liver. The injuries were managed using damage control surgery principles to stabilize the patient and prevent further complications.<br>Dr. Al-Buraikan added that the first phase of the treatment plan focused on saving the patient's life. The medical team utilized interventional radiology to control the severe liver bleeding and stabilize the intestinal injuries. This successful intervention lasted three hours, after which the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) for close monitoring. On the following day, the second phase of the treatment plan commenced, involving a series of additional surgeries. These included gallbladder removal, partial colon resection, and repair of intestinal perforations. Significant blood loss was compensated with a large volume of blood transfusions, facilitated by the hospital's state-of-the-art blood bank. The second surgical intervention, which lasted four hours, was successfully completed. The patient was then returned to the ICU in stable condition. After five days, the patient was transferred to a standard hospital room, where he spent 73 hours under intensive medical care before being discharged in good health.<br>The patient, Mohammed Saleem, expressed his gratitude, saying, "First and foremost, I thank Allah Almighty for granting me recovery from these injuries, which I never thought I would survive.
