Outcomes of unplanned abdominal surgeries in trauma patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study reviews the outcomes of patients who had abdominal trauma and underwent exploratory abdominal surgery (laparotomy) that may not have been strictly necessary based on guidelines. It aims to understand how these cases turned out for patients.
