%X Penetrating trauma to the abdomen can be a potential diagnostic dilemma for the trauma surgeon, and a formal exploratory laparotomy may result in the detection of occult injuries.

We have also highlighted the technical aspects of clinical care in this specific scenario.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
