AbstractLaparoscopy in trauma is useful in diagnosing but limited in treatment. We report the case of a patient with a stab wound in the right upper quadrant and gallbladder perforation who underwent diagnostic and laparoscopic treatment. The therapeutic opportunities in abdominal trauma are scant for laparoscopic surgery; the isolated gallbladder injury is one of them, it being possible to apply the usefulness of this less invasive technique in this case.
