title: [Value of puncture-lavage in abdominal closed trauma. Comparison with the laparoscopy and symptomatology (author's transl)].
abstract: In a series of 120 closed abdominal trauma the authors compare the reliability of the abdominal symptomatology (60%), of puncture-lavage with an Intracath (92.5%) or with a Diacath (98%) and of laparoscopy (100%). Laparoscopy and puncture-lavage with a Diacath have the same advantages: rapid execution, safeness, reliability. However the preference of the authors goes to the catheter and peritoneal dialysis because of its simplicity and feasability by the surgeon himself. This technique discloses visceral lesions: if positive it allows an earlier diagnosis and operation; if negative it avoids unnecessary laparotomies especially in cases of multiple trauma.
