Body packers: grading of risk as a guide to management and intervention.

O M Jones1, B A Shorey.   

Abstract

The dual aims of management of the drug smuggler are for low morbidity and mortality combined with a low operation rate. In our experience, presented in this paper, adherence to the principle of identifying the high-risk patient by symptoms and signs combines safety with low rates of intervention.
