    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Surgical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Peritoneal lavage is valuable for abdominal trauma assessment.
    • High morbidity rates limit the widespread adoption of traditional techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, safer, and more efficient peritoneal lavage technique.
    • To overcome the limitations and complications associated with existing methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an 18-gauge needle, a soft-tipped wire guide, and a 9 French Teflon catheter.
    • This minimally invasive approach avoids complications of standard dialysis trocars or mini-laparotomies.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure is rapid, taking 20-30 minutes, with a minimum time of seven minutes.

  • Successfully performed in 132 cases by 51 physicians.
  • A single avoidable complication occurred due to violation of contraindications.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed technique offers a safe and efficient alternative for peritoneal lavage in abdominal trauma.
    • Its ease of use and low complication rate, when guidelines are followed, support wider clinical application.
