摘要
BACKGROUND: To assess if diagnostic laparoscopy (DL) is superior to nonoperative modes (serial abdominal examination with/without computed axial tomography [CAT] and diagnostic peritoneal lavage) in determining the need for therapeutic laparotomy (TL) after anterior abdominal stab wound (ASW). METHODS: Retrospective review of ASW patients. Patients were divided into group A (DL/exploratory laparotomy) to identify peritoneal violation (PV) and group B (initial nonoperative modes). RESULTS: Seventy-three patients met inclusion criteria. In group A (n = 38), 29 patients (76%) had PV by DL and underwent exploratory laparotomy. Only 10 (35%) underwent TL (sensitivity for PV = 100%; specificity and positive predictive value of PV in determining need for TL = 29% and 33%, respectively). In group B (n = 35), 7 patients (20%) underwent TL, yielding an improved specificity (96%) and positive predictive value (88%). CONCLUSIONS: We find no role for DL in the evaluation of ASW patients solely to determine PV. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
