The goal is to identify and treat injuries in a safe cost-effective manner. Common evaluation strategies are local wound exploration (LWE), diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL), serial clinical assessment (SCAs) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. ...

However, the real benefits of physical examination and different diagnostic methods are still unclear. METHODS From January 2000 to April 2003, we prospectively collected data on 117 patients with penetrating stab wounds ...
