    Area of Science:

    • Surgical techniques
    • Trauma management
    • Diagnostic procedures

    Background:

    • Peritoneal lavage is a valuable diagnostic tool for abdominal trauma.
    • Standard techniques using dialysis trocars or minilaparotomy carry inherent risks and complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel technique for peritoneal lavage.
    • To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of this new method in evaluating abdominal trauma.
    • To minimize complications associated with traditional lavage procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A new peritoneal lavage technique was developed, designed to circumvent complications of standard dialysis trocar and minilaparotomy methods.
    • The technique was implemented and utilized by 51 physicians across 132 patient cases.

    Main Results:

    • The novel technique was employed in 132 cases by 51 physicians.
    • A single avoidable complication was recorded, occurring when a procedural rule was violated.
    • This indicates a high safety profile and successful implementation of the new method.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed peritoneal lavage technique offers a safer alternative for abdominal trauma evaluation.
    • The technique demonstrates a low complication rate when established procedural guidelines are followed.
    • This approach has the potential to improve patient outcomes in trauma care.
