Treatment trauma to the abdomen necessitates immediate medical attention and occasionally hospitalization. Identifying any additional injuries and stabilizing the patient to ensure adequate airway, breathing and circulation are part of the initial treatment. Organs may need to be fixed with surgery. People who have penetrating injuries and symptoms of peritonitis or shock may need surgery. When a blunt abdominal injury results in a large, potentially fatal bleeding, laparotomy is frequently required. Before moving on to a definitive find and repairing any injuries that are discovered, the primary objective is to stop any bleeding sources. This procedure favours a long midline incision because it prioritizes expediency in terms of gaining access and controlling bleeding due to the time constraint. Non-operative treatment of intra-abdominal injuries is also common because there is little benefit if there is no known active bleeding or possibility of infection. Because they are able to identify injuries that can be managed conservatively and rule out other injuries that would require surgery, care providers who use CT scanning are able to use less surgery. A person's need for intensive care may or may not be determined by their injuries.

Prophylactic (preventative) antibiotics are frequently used to reduce the risk of sepsis and septic complications, such as septicaemia, abscesses in the abdomen, and wound infections, in injuries that penetrate the peritoneal cavity penetrating abdominal trauma. Prophylactic antibiotic use for penetrating abdominal trauma has not been well studied, and there is no strong evidence to favor one type or dose of antibiotic over another. It is also unclear how long these antibiotics should be used for. Prognosis a worse outcome is associated with a delayed diagnosis of abdominal injury. If gastrointestinal tract perforation is involved, delayed treatment is associated with particularly high morbidity and mortality rates. During major trauma, emergency medicine prioritizes the immediate treatment of injuries that can be treated quickly and pose a risk to life. The airway is evaluated, and if necessary, an artificial airway or suctioning is used to remove bodily fluids. The motion of the chest wall and the search for blood or air in the pleural cavity are used to assess breathing. The patient's circulation, including the use of intravenous therapy, is evaluated for resuscitation. Reflexes and responsiveness are used to assess disability. The patient is then examined for external injuries using exposure. For a more in-depth diagnosis, a CT scan is used immediately following life-saving procedures. Continual blood transfusion, mechanical ventilation, and nutritional support may be required for additional resuscitation. Pain management is another aspect of injury treatment. Although pain can exacerbate an injury, limit mobility, and impact quality of life, it can also serve as an indicator of the nature and severity of the injury. Depending on the person's age, the severity of the injury and any previous medical conditions that may affect pain relief, analgesic medications are used to alleviate injuries pain. Flashbacks can go from interruption to finish separation or loss of familiarity with the ongoing setting. Re-encountering of side effects is an indication that the body and psyche are effectively battling to adapt to the horrible experience. Triggers and signals go about as tokens of the injury and can cause uneasiness and other related emotions. Often the individual can be totally ignorant about what these triggers are. Much of the time this might lead an individual with a horrendous problem to participate in troublesome ways of behaving or reckless survival techniques, frequently without being completely mindful of the nature or reasons for their own decisions. Fits of anxiety are an illustration of a psychosomatic reaction to such close to home triggers. Thusly, extreme sensations of outrage may much of the time surface, in some cases in unseemly or unforeseen circumstances, as risk may constantly appear to be available because of re-encountering previous occasions.
