Patients are likely to have less postoperative pain and be discharged from hospital and return to activities and routine work sooner than those who have undergone laparotomy, Aim and objectives: to determine feasibility, safety & effectiveness of laparoscopy as a diagnostic & therapeutic modality in patients with blunt abdominal trauma, Subjects and methods: This study is observational prospective study, was conducted on 30 patients with blunt abdominal trauma in Emergency room of in El-Mabaraa Health Insurance Hospital, Assuit General Hospital and El-Eman General Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: (group A): included 16 patients underwent laparoscopy, (group B): included 14 patients underwent laparotomy, Result: There was statistically significant decrease in operative time and post operative pain and complications in laparoscopy group compared to laparotomy group (p<0.001), Conclusion: Laparoscopy constitutes a safe and feasible procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) and can be the first choice with no increase in postoperative complications. However, complicated injuries are problem for laparoscopic technique despite the surgeons’ increasing experience and eligible for laparotomy.
