“…5 Lin HF et al conducted a retrospective study of 87 patients in 2010 and report a decrease from 57.9% in the group that underwent immediate laparotomy to 0% in the group that underwent laparoscopy first (P value <0.001). 6 The patients who underwent laparoscopy had a shorter surgery duration, which is stated to depend upon surgical expertise and quicker wound closure as compared to laparotomy. 6 Hospital stay was also shorter due to the use of a minimally invasive approach.…”

Laparoscopic management of penetrating abdominal trauma

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.

“…[7,8] Diagnostic laparoscopy is currently used not only for diagnostic purposes, but also for therapeutic purposes. [9][10][11] Despite its limited role in anterior abdominal injuries, diagnostic laparoscopy is a suitable method for laparoscopic assessment and intervention in thoracoabdominal penetrating injuries. [12] We prefer performing diagnostic laparoscopy to detect diaphragmatic injuries in all patients with left thoracoabdominal injuries.…”
