ABSTRACT
Diagnostic laparoscopy in gunshot wounds of the abdomen was performed in 14 children. The diagnostic value of laparoscopic and other methods of diagnostics was evaluated. An analysis of the results has shown that laparoscopy for gunshot wounds of the abdomen in children is of great diagnostic value. The indications and contraindications for diagnostic laparoscopy in such cases have been formulated. The surgical strategy used reduced 3 times the number of unnecessary laparoscopies for gunshot wounds of the abdomen in children.
