    Notes: Abstract. We performed a retrospective study on 163 patients for evaluation of the benefit of intravenous cholangiography prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Radiographic evaluation of the various areas of the biliary system was classified regarding resolution of anatomic structures: well detailed (excellent), impaired image but reliable interpretation possible (good), insufficient contrast with limited assessment (poor), no reliable judgment possible (insufficient). The common bile duct could be described as “good” in 96.3%, whereas the cystic duct could be described as “good” in only 54.6%. Concrements of the gallbladder were recognized in 72.4%, and common bile duct stones were diagnosed in only two of three patients. A distal junction of the cystic duct was found in nine cases, but there was no influence on the following operative procedure. Only one of two patients with a short cystic duct was identified. We found no improvement after routine use of intravenous cholangiography concerning the evidence of common bile duct stones or the avoidance of lesions of the common bile duct. Hence routine use of intravenous cholangiography prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not justified.

    Description / Table of Contents: Intraabdominal organ lesions after blunt abdominal trauma often are missed, especially in patients with multiple trauma. Missed abdominal injuries have a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Surgical treatment is often successful with a low rate of complications when the case of correct diagnosis is promptly made, which means this is especially tragic, particularly in younger patients. During the past decade abdominal ultrasound has become the primary screening technique of choice for blunt abdominal trauma. With standard views free fluid volumes, as an indirect sign of organic lesions, can be detected in matter of minutes with a high sensitivity of up to 99%. It is reported in the literature that about 10% of abdominal injuries are discovered only on re-examinations carried out because of secondary lesions; our own experience in over 1000 trauma patients was similar. Therefore, repeated examinations are mandatory in all cases to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed therapy. Our own results with a standardized time schedule of ultrasound examinations and different case reports are used to illustrate the typical difficulties in diagnosis following blunt abdominal trauma.
    Notes: Intraabdominale Organläsionen im Rahmen eines stumpfen Bauchtraumas gehören zu den am häufigsten initial übersehenen Verletzungen, insbesondere beim polytraumatisierten Patienten. Dies ist besonders tragisch, da diese Verletzungen bei rechtzeitiger Diagnosestellung und chirurgischer Intervention meist folgenlos zu beherrschen sind, ein Nichterkennen jedoch mit einer hohen Morbiditäts- und Mortalitätsrate verbunden ist. Im vergangenen Jahrzehnt hat sich die Sonographie als Screeningmethode für intraabdominale Verletzungen etabliert. Durch standardisierte Schnittebenen gelingt der Nachweis freier intraabdominaler Flüssigkeit als indirektes Zeichen für eine Organverletzung auch weniger erfahrenen Untersuchern mit einer Sensitivität von bis zu 99% bei sehr kurzen Untersuchungszeiten. Nach den Angaben in der Literatur und eigenen Erfahrungen bei 〉1000 Traumapatienten werden infolge von zweizeitigen Verletzungsformen etwa 10% der Verletzungen erst im Rahmen von Verlaufskontrollen erkannt, welche somit obligatorischer Bestandteil der Basisdiagnostik sein müssen. Anhand eigener Ergebnisse und verschiedener Fallbeispiele wird die Problematik der Diagnostik beim stumpfen Bauchtrauma unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von sonographischen Verlaufskontrollen demonstriert.
