Introduction Penetrating traumais an injury that occurs when an object pierces the skin and enters a tissue of the body, creating an open wound. The various modes of penetrating injuries are homicidal injuries, accidental injuries and suicidal injuries.

Medical College, Jodhpur (Rajasthan) during the period of January 2015 to September 2017 according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results Homicidal injury was noted in 54.28 % and accidental injuries were noted in 45.71. Therapeutic laparotomy was performed in 73.68 % of homicidal injuries and 50% of accidental injuries and non therapeutic laparotomy was performed in 21.05% of homicidal injury and 43.75 % of accidental injuries.Hollow viscus injury was noted in 52.63% of homicidal injury and 50% of accidental injury, solid organ injury was noted in 26.31% homicidal injury and 6.25% accidental injury.
