Abstract

Laparoscopic exploration for blunt trauma is safe in patients with stable hemodynamics. However, proceeding with a laparoscopic procedure can be unsafe in some cases; thus, switching to laparotomy is necessary. Herein, we present a case of laparoscopy converted to a laparotomy due to a large amount of food-material spillage. This case demonstrates that prompt conversion to open surgery is another quality required for successful outcomes in trauma.
