Most of the injured were male (89.2%) and aged between 20 and 40 years (62.1%). The causal agent was a knife in 94.6% of cases. The intra-abdominal injury was clinically evident in 54.5% of cases.

A rate of 16.2% of white laparotomy was found but remains high compared to the objectives of the promoters (less than 10%). Morbidity and mortality were respectively 7% and 8.1%.
