The treatment of liver trauma in 106 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of liver trauma. Methods We retrospectively analyzed different therapeutic means on liver trauma including 79 cases with operative treatment and 27 cases with nonoperative treatment. Results In nonoperative treatment group, 25 cases were cured, 2 cases died. In operative treatment group, 73 cases were cured, 6 cases died. Cure rate was 92.5%(98/106), mortality was 7.5%(8/106). 5 cases died of major blood vessels rupture, 3 cases died on multiple organ function failure. Postoperative complications included 3 cases of subphrenic infection, 10 cases of hepatic abscess, 8 cases of pleural hydrops, 7 cases of incisional infection. Conclutions Type I of liver trauma can be treated by nonoperation, type Ⅱ～Ⅳ of blunt liver trauma can be treated by nonoperation on the condition of intensive monitoring. Type Ⅱ～ Ⅵ of liver trauma should be operated on emergently in case of massive intraabdominal bleeding and combined organ injury.
