Authors describe experience of diagnosis and treatment of hemobilia at 10 of 743 patients with trauma of liver. At 7 patients hemobilia was due to closed trauma, and at 3--due to injuries. For diagnosis of hemobilia the USE, Doppler examination of hepatic vessels, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, selective angiography of liver were used. Selective embolization was effective at 7 of 8 patients. Hemobilia has been cured conservatively at 2 patients. Two patients died. It is concluded that complex examination including dopplerography of hepatic liver, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, selective angiography is necessary for diagnosis of traumatic hemobilia. Traumatic hemobilia must be suspected at patients with symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding in postoperative (posttraumatic) period, and diagnosis of other sources of bleeding does not exclude hemobilia. Selective angiography and embolization of afferent arterial branch is the most effective and safe method of traumatic hemobilia treatment.
