Case Reports[The surgical procedure in left-sided thoracoabdominal knife wounds].
An experience with surgical treatment of 136 patients with left-side thoracoabdominal knife wounds has shown that all the patients can be divided into two groups: transpleural wounds (111 cases or 81.7%) and extrapleural wounds (25 cases or 18.3%). Symptoms of extrapleural wounds (medial and lateral) are described. Injuries to organs of the abdominal cavity were shown to depend on the localization of the diaphragm wound. It was found that in patients with wounds to the posterior cupula there were only injuries of organs fixed in the subdiaphragmatic space.
