description Impalement injuries are unusual, complex surgical problems. We present a case of impalement through the spine and abdomen, describe a two-team approach to operative extraction utilizing simultaneous laminectomy and laparotomy incisions, and outline the management of an infectious complication caused by unusual bacterial and fungal pathogens. General principles of management includethe impaling object must be stabilized and manipulation avoided during extrication and transport. Operative removal requires careful preplanning, and should be tailored to the specific presenting injuries, with early multispecialty involvement as necessary. Extensive exposure is mandatory and may be achieved through a variety of standard or unconventional incisions so as to permit extraction of the impaled object under direct vision. Meticulous care of the traumatic wound is necessary, and careful followup is required for recognition and early management of infectious complications.
