Results: Pain score six hours after operation on visual analogue score in group A ranged from 1 to 6 and the mean ±  SD was 2.63±1.78, while in group B ranged from 2 to 7 and the mean ±  SD was 4.21±1.37. There was statistically significant decrease in operative time and post operative pain and complications in laparoscopy group compared to laparot-omy group (p<0.001). There was statistically significant increase in patient satisfaction level with the scar and outcome in group A than group B. Conclusion: Laparoscopy constitutes a safe and feasible procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) and can be the first choice with no increase in postoperative complications.
