Muchas gracias a Gabriela, Sergio y Elena por su ayuda. En efecto, tienen razón todos ustedes, la palabra es "viscus" (y de paso, aparece mal escrita en Internet en muchos sitios). Lo que pasa es que el nuevo formato no me deja agregar comentarios después de la pregunta.

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies advocate the use of diagnostic laparoscopy (DL) for abdominal trauma, but none have documented its ability to diagnose specific injuries. This study tests the hypothesis that DL can accurately identify all significant intra-abdominal injuries in trauma patients.

RESULTS: Of these, 14 patients had no significant injuries necessitating operative intervention noted at laparoscopy and celiotomy. The remaining 33 patients harbored 93 significant injuries at laparotomy, of which only 57.0% were found by DL. DL possessed poor sensitivity (<50%) for injuries to **hollow viscera**......
