Abstract:
To ascertain the need for operative intervention is the key management issue in stable patients with penetrating abdominal trauma. This article addresses the role of laparoscopy in refining the indications for celiotomy, especially in wounds of the intrathoracic abdomen and those with doubtful peritoneal violation. Technical considerations, possible future uses, and cost also are discussed.
