Contrast of Ultrasonography in Diagnosis for Hepatorrhexis with Operative Exploration (Report of 120 Cases) / 中国普外基础与临床杂志

Objective To discuss the diagnosis value of ultrasonography in hepatorrhexis. Methods The contrast of ultrasonography for 120 cases of hepatorrhexis with operative exploration was made. Results All of the 120 patients were examined with ultrasonography, fragmentation of liver parenchyma in 55 cases, dehiscence of liver parenchyma in 38 cases, liver subcapsular hematoma in 12 cases, and spontaneous rupture of liver cancer in 7 cases. All of the 120 patients were confirmed hepatorrhexis with laparotomy. The positive diagnostic rate of ultrasonography in the hepatorrhexis was 93.3%.Conclusion Ultrasonography is valuable for diagnosing hepatorrhexis and it is one of the important diagnostic approaches.
