Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of laparotomy and laparoscopy in the treatment of patients with blunt abdominal trauma.
Material And Methods: Literature searching was conducted in accordance with the recommendations «Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses» between January 2015 and August 2021. We used the electronic databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, eLibrary.
Results: Laparoscopy reduces hospital-stay, postoperative morbidity and mortality in hemodynamically stable patients with blunt abdominal trauma compared to laparotomy.
Conclusion: Further systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials are required to obtain high quality data.

Blunt abdominal trauma frequently results in visceral injury to either solid or hollow organs; however, injury to the gallbladder is rare. This is most likely due to the anatomical position of the gallbladder, which is well-insulated posterior to the liver and rib cage. Gallbladder injuries can be in the form of avulsion, contusion, or laceration.

Exploratory laparotomies for blunt or penetrating trauma often result in significant morbidity. Despite advancements in resuscitation, surgical techniques, and antibiotics, intra-abdominal abscesses remain a serious complication, contributing to poor outcomes and extended hospital stays. Percutaneous computed tomography-guided drainage is the standard treatment for abscesses, offering high success rates and low morbidity.

Background: Pancreatic trauma is a rare solid organ injury. Conservative treatment is often indicated in patients with no pancreatic duct injury, while patients with high-grade pancreatic damage most often require surgical intervention. Laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP) is a parenchyma-sparing approach and can prevent endocrine and exocrine insufficiency after pancreatic resection.

Background: The initial assessment of trauma is a time-consuming and challenging task. The purpose of this research is to examine the diagnostic effectiveness and usefulness of machine learning models paired with radiomics features to identify blunt traumatic liver injury in abdominal computed tomography (CT) images.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 600 CT scan images of people with mild and severe liver damage due to trauma and healthy people were collected from the Kaggle dataset.
