The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes of adult patients hospitalised due to penetrating abdominal trauma at a tertiary trauma hospital in South Africa. Our primary objective is to study the association between waiting time to surgery and outcome (mortality, complications, and length of hospital stay) in normotensive patients treated with laparotomy for penetrating abdominal trauma.
