Intra-abdominal insufflation as a diagnostic modality for penetrating anterior abdominal wall trauma in a busy urban center: a retrospective case-series

Laparoscopy can be utilized for hemodynamically stable patients with PAT. DL can be converted to TL in the hands of a skilled laparoscopist. In this study, we analyze the use of DL over a 10-year period in patients who presented to our level 1 trauma center with PAT. We also provide a comprehensive review of literature to create clear definitions, and to clarify a systematic stepwise approach of how to effectively perform DL and TL. This study adds to the body of literature supporting the role of laparoscopy in PAT, and advances the discussion regarding management.
