There is a marked trend toward nonoperative management of abdominal trauma. This has been possible thanks to the advances in imaging and interventional techniques. Computed tomography (CT), angiography, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can guide the nonoperative management of abdominal trauma.
