For years laparoscopy has been used selectively in the diagnosis of blunt and penetrating injuries to the abdomen. Recent advances in instrumentation have taken laparoscopy beyond its limited role in diagnosis. Use of the laparoscope for therapeutic intervention in selected cases of abdominal trauma is now possible. Here we report the use of laparoscopic techniques to diagnose and treat two stab wounds to the anterior wall of the stomach.
