Abstract

We present a case of abdominal penetrant trauma by fire arm, harming liver, in which a conservative attitude was maintained thanks to the employment of videolaparoscopic diagnostic techniques. We expose the patient's clinical data, the trauma management, being important to say there was not necessity of surgical intervention, and also the posterior evolution. We reviewed the main elements taken into account when the surgeon decides to follow a conservative behaviour.
