Diagnostic peritoneal tap has been an invaluable tool in the early diagnosis of acute abdominal catastrophy. We have discussed the role of abdominal paracentesis in 27 cases of blunt abdominal trauma and acute abdomen, where the diagnosis was in doubt despite clinical and emergency investigations. A simple method of tapping was adopted and there have been no complicatons.
