Text: In patients with equivocal peritoneal penetration (BDL vs. BNOM), laparoscopy found more mostly minor organ injuries (7 of 28 [BDL] vs. 1 of 31 [BNOM], p = 0. 022) with no significant difference in therapeutic operations (3 of 28 vs. 1 of 31, p = 0. 337) or morbidity (3 of 28 vs. 0 of 31, p = 0. 101), but was associated with increased length of stay (2. 6 + / - 2. 1 vs. 1. 9 + / - 1. 8 days, p = 0. 022), hospital costs (4. 2 + / - 1. 3 vs. 1. 5 + / - 1. 1 x 1, 000 EUR, p = 0. 000), and sick leave requirements (18 of 23 vs. 8 of 28 of eligible patients, p = 0. 001).
