This article delves into the role of minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) in trauma, specifically laparoscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). It discusses the benefits of laparoscopy over traditional laparotomy, including its accuracy in detecting peritoneal violation and intraperitoneal injuries caused by penetrating trauma. The article also explores the use of laparoscopy as an adjunct to non-operative management (NOM) of abdominal injuries and in cases of blunt trauma with unclear abdominal injuries. Furthermore, it highlights the benefits of VATS in diagnosing and treating thoracic injuries, such as traumatic diaphragmatic injuries (TDI), retained hematomas, and persistent pneumothorax. The article also touches upon the contraindications, complications, controversies, and concerns related to these procedures. |
