22. Why are complications associated with bile duct leaks?
Show answer
Bilomas (i.e., collections of bile) frequently become infected and may result in lethal peritonitis. Biliopleural fistula, a communication between the biliary system and pleural cavity, persists because of the relative negative pressure in the thorax and may result in a bile empyema.

1. Why is there a different approach to stab and gunshot wounds?
Show answer
Whereas one third of stab wounds to the anterior abdomen do not penetrate the peritoneum, 80% of gunshot wounds violate the peritoneum. Furthermore, penetration of the peritoneum by a bullet is associated with visceral or vascular injuries in > 95% of cases, whereas only one third of stab wounds violating the peritoneal cavity produce significant injury. (See Figure 24-1.)

14. What is the role of laparoscopy and thoracoscopy after penetrating abdominal trauma?
Show answer
Although an intriguing diagnostic modality with additional therapeutic capabilities, laparoscopy thus far appears to have limited application after trauma. With the exception of suspected diaphragmatic injury, an isolated solid organ injury, or evaluation for peritoneal penetration, laparoscopy has yet to demonstrate advantages over the algorithm delineated above. The potential for missed injuries, poor evaluation of the retroperitoneum, and expense are major drawbacks. In patients with wounds to the lower chest with pneumothorax (and, thus, an indication for chest tube placement), thoracoscopy is reasonable to exclude diaphragmatic injury.

1. How often is the liver injured in trauma?
Show answer
The liver is both big and central, so it is an easy target.
2. Do the liver and spleen respond similarly to injury?
Show answer
No. The liver has a unique ability to establish spontaneous hemostasis even with extensive injuries. For this reason, the majority of liver injuries in hemodynamically stable patients can be managed nonoperatively. In contrast, many splenic fractures continue to bleed; therefore, a greater percentage require operative intervention.

1. What elements of the history are important in evaluating a patient with suspected blunt abdominal trauma (BAT)?
Show answer
First, the mechanism of injury (e.g., motor vehicle collision, automobile-pedestrian accident, fall) is important. In motor vehicle accidents, note the position of the victim in the car, velocity of impact (high, moderate, low), type of accident (front, lateral, or rear impact; side swipe; rollover), and type of restraint used (shoulder restraint, air-bag, lap belt). Information about damage to the vehicle, such as a broken windshield or bent steering wheel, may raise suspicion of cervical and chest injuries. In a fall, it is important to note the distance fallen and the site of anatomic impact. Vertical landing on the feet or in a sitting position causes a different pattern of injury than lateral landing on the side. Serial vital signs and mental status are always important.
