Background: Left thoracoabdominal stab wounds (LTSWs) leading to diaphragmatic injuries can cause serious morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis and treatment of LTSWs are controversial. This study investigated the reliability of laparoscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of diaphragmatic lacerations in hemodynamically stable patients with an LTSW, hypothesizing that laparoscopy is sufficient for diagnosing and treating diaphragmatic injury after an LTSW.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the impact of ligating the left renal vein (LRV) and associated collateral veins in rats that have had one kidney removed (right-nephrectomized).
- The research compares outcomes of ligating the LRV alone and with the adrenal or gonadal collaterals, revealing that excluding gonadal collateral leads to significantly higher mortality due to kidney damage.
- The conclusion highlights that ligation of the LRV near the inferior vena cava is safer when the gonadal collateral is preserved, while ligating it with adrenal collateral is less harmful.
