There are very clear-cut indications for exploratory laparotomy. With all of the diagnostic aids in use at present and even with the maximum amount of skill on the part of the surgeon, conditions arise which are not possible of diagnosis without exploratory laparotomy. This study was done to look for the various indications of exploratory laparotomy, their presentation and outcome. This retrospective study of exploratory laparotomies was conducted in patients who were admitted and treated in…

TLDR
It is found that peritoneal breach on its own does not necessarily always equate to intra-abdominal visceral injury.

TLDR
Laroscopy has an important diagnostic and therapeutic role in selected hemodynamically stable trauma patients and using a minimally invasive approach can reduce the potential morbidity of negative laparotomy.

Abdominal drainage: a clinical review.
TLDR
Evidence is presented that abdominal drains, although sometimes life-saving, are potentially harmfully and should be used only when a clear indication is present and the drain should be removed at the earliest safe time after operation.

TLDR
Controversial components of rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII) create wide practice variations that impede attempts to establish a standard RSII protocol and need to be discussed, studied, and resolved.

TLDR
A meta‐analysis of studies suggesting that diathermy may offer potential advantages with respect to blood loss, incision time and postoperative pain found that this was not the case.
