“…In 1986, our group from King's County first documented the utility of CT scanning in stable patients with penetrating injury to the back and flank [5]. We utilized CT scan for its three-dimensional perspective, recognizing that the retroperitoneum, an area that could not be evaluated with DPL, and in which injuries may be clinically occult for hours or days, could be adequately evaluated with use of the CT scanner.…”

“…In those with flank and/or back wounds, crosssectional imaging is a common option after completion of the initial assessment. 9,[44][45][46][47] If select ed, this should generally involve triple-phase (oral, intravenous and rectal) contrast CT of the entire torso. When the clinican's aim is to detect retroperitoneal contrast leakage from potential colonic injuries, adequate distention with rectal contrast is critical.…”

“…No caso de ferimento por arma branca, a crescente conduta de seleção dos pacientes para indicação cirúrgica, com base na exploração local do ferimentos na parede abdominal anterior, tentando certificar-se da integridade ou da violação do peritônio e, na tomografia computadorizada do abdome com triplo contraste (via oral, endovenoso e retal) nos ferimentos do dorso 9 , contribuiu para uma redução de três vezes no número de laparotomias desnecessárias 10 , ao contrário da exploração peritoneal de rotina, antigamente realizada, principalmente em ferimentos da transição toracoabdominal.…”

“…Uma outra abordagem que pode ser utilizada em casos de ferimentos penetrantes toracoabdominais posteriores, em que é difícil a exploração local do ferimento em virtude da densa musculatura da região, é a realização de tomografia computadorizada do abdome com triplo contraste (via oral, endovenosa e retal) 9 .…”
