Objective To explore the management strategy for liver trauma combined with juxla-hepatic venous injury and discuss relating factors leading to postoperative deaths. Methods The clini-cal data of 11 patients with juxtahepatic venous injury were retrospectively analyzed in aspects of prefer-ence of irregular hepatectomy and vein repair.There were 8 males and 3 females,at age range of 22-65 years(mean 33.7 years).Injury causes included traffic injury in 7 patients,fall-from-height injury in 3 and crush injury in 1.Of all,9 patients were combined with other abdominal organ injury and 7 with over one part fractures.All patients showed symptom of shock on admission. Results No patient died dur-ing operation but 3 died after operation.The complications included bleeding in 6 patients,severe infec-tion in 2.liver function failure in 3, acute renaI function failure in 2.bile-1eakage in 4,abdominal ab-scess in 4 and incision infection in 6. Conclusion Low blood pressure in the operation is the main cause for death.It is safe and effective to treat liver trauma combined with juxtahepatic venous injury with irregular hepatectomy and vein repair.
