Abstract During the four-year period from 1950 to 1954, 528 patients were admitted to the Los Angeles County General Hospital with a diagnosis of possible abdominal trauma. One hundred fifty-one of these patients had penetrating gunshot or knife wounds of the abdomen, and they were operated upon shortly after admission.
