Outcome of Management of Blunt Liver Trauma

Abstract

iver is a solid organ with the highest injury rate in abdominal injury. Approximately 15%e20% of abdominal injuries refer to hepatic trauma. Hepatic injury takes the third place in abdominal injury and 80%e90% of hepatic injuries are blunt ones. In 2013, a study using ultra sonography to evaluate the intraperitoneal trauma showed that liver was the mostly affected organ and younger people were more vulnerable to hepatic and pancreatic injury (Hommes et al., 2015).
