AB  - Challenges  in  evaluating  penetrating  trauma  to  the  flank  and  buttocks  are  recognizing  peritoneal  and  retroperitoneal  injuries  and  determining  which  patients  need  immediate  surgery  and  which  can  be  managed  more  conservatively.  Mechanism  and  time  of  injury,  weapon  characteristics,  and  determining  the  bullet  path  or  stab  wound  depth  may  assist  in  diagnosis.
