Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The National Trauma Institute ranks trauma as the number 1 cause of death in individuals aged 1-46 years, and the third leading cause of death across all age groups. Trauma cases are a common occurrence in the hospital with the abdomen being the third most commonly injured region. A decision between laparoscopy versus laparotomy as the most appropriate approach is still a matter of discussion. We present a case of a 30 years old male who presented with a penetrating stab wound on the anterior abdominal wall. After initial investigations and emergency management, a decision was reached for a laparoscopic approach in the definitive management of the patient. Following the procedure, the patient remained vitally stable and faced no other complications. This case highlights the importance of laparoscopic approach in penetrating abdominal trauma patients as it significantly reduces the amount of stress in traumatic patients, reduces hospital stay and allows for a faster recovery phase.
