Abstract:
Objective To study the role of gasless laparoscopic techniques in the treatment of abdominal trauma. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 52 cases of abdominal trauma considered unfit for pneumoperitoneum treated by gasless laparoscopic surgery. Results Prompt diagnosis and treatment were achieved in 43 cases. A conversion to laparoscopic exploration under pneumoperitoneum was required in 5 cases. The remaining 4 cases of severe injuries of the spleen and the bowel were cured by a conversion to open surgery after the determination of the incision site under gasless laparoscope. There were no fatal cases in the study. Conclusions Use of gasless laparoscopic techniques for the diagnosis, treatment and determination of incision site in patients with abdominal trauma considered unfit for pneumoperitoneum is feasible. It is a necessarily additional alternative to traditional laparoscopic surgery.
