  • Title: Emergency laparoscopy in multiple trauma patients: experience with 106 cases.
    Author: Cortesi N, Manenti A, Gibertini G, Rossi A.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1987; 87(4):239-41. PubMed ID: 2958975.
    Abstract:
    Emergency laparoscopy was successfully used in 106 multiple-trauma and often unconscious patients with blunt abdominal traumas. In 40 cases a negative result avoided any subsequent exploratory laparotomy; two false negative were registered, while a diagnosis of retroperitoneal hematoma was possible in 6 cases.
