Abstract
There has been a rapid increase in the use of laparoscopy in general surgery over recent years. However in the field of trauma its role has not been defined and its regular use remains limited to a select group of enthusiasts. We present a review of the current literature on laparoscopic surgery in trauma including therapeutic procedures and a brief synopsis of the alternative methods of investigation for abdominal injury, and our interpretation of the current role of laparoscopic surgery in trauma today.Keywords
