ABSTRACT
Despite the use of laparoscopy in abdominal trauma for several decades, it was only after the advent of video chip camera that an explosion of interest ocurred, giving rise to possibilities and perspectives not only in diagnosis but also in therapeutics. In trauma, its use has been gradually defined and experience has shown the benefits of the method in early diagnosis of visceral injuries as well as avoiding unnecessary laparotomies. Trauma laparoscopy is a safe method, can reduce negative and nontherapeutic laparotomies. The worrisome failure of laparoscopy to detect gastrintestinal injuries, specially small bowel lesions can be avoided with a mandatory and apropriated "run bowel" exploration. We believe that in hemodinamically stable patients, video laparoscopy is safely indicated in some situations in trauma, such as evaluation of diaphragmatic injuries in thoraco abdominal stab wounds and tangential gunshot wounds of anterior abdominal wall.
