Summary

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a valuable tool for evaluating abdominal injuries, especially in cases without clear "acute abdomen" signs. This approach safely reduced surgeries and improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Emergency Medicine

Context:

  • Abdominal injuries present diagnostic challenges, often necessitating invasive procedures.
  • Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management and outcomes.
  • The study reviews the treatment of 316 patients with diverse abdominal injuries.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of diagnostic laparoscopy in managing abdominal injuries.
  • To determine the indications for urgent surgery, conservative treatment, and outpatient follow-up.
  • To assess the impact of a structured treatment policy on patient outcomes and resource utilization.

Summary:

  • A significant portion of patients (45.6%) required surgery due to vital indications like internal bleeding or peritonitis.
  • Instrumental examination was needed for 54.4% of patients, with urgent diagnostic laparoscopy performed in 118 cases.
  • Diagnostic laparoscopy is indicated for patients with subtle "acute abdomen" signs, penetrating injuries within 2 hours, blunt trauma with uncertain diagnosis, and in cases of alcoholic intoxication.
  • The study categorized patients into three groups: urgent surgery (38.1%), conservative treatment (17.8%), and outpatient follow-up (44.1%).

Impact:

  • Implementation of this policy reduced diagnostic laparotomies to 11%.
  • The period of limited disability decreased by an average of 5.8 days.
  • Overall lethality was reduced to 6%.
