Abstract
AIM: To summarize our experience with surgical treatment of 23 patients with traumatic liver rupture.
METHODS: The clinical data for 23 patients with traumatic liver rupture who were surgically treated from 2006 to 2011 at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS: Of 23 patients with traumatic liver rupture, 20 were cured and 3 died. One patient died of multiple organ injury. Rupture of the liver, spleen and kidney, and pelvic fracture occurred in this patient. One patient died of severe chest trauma with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and the other patient died of multiple organ failure (MOF) after surgery for liver rupture. The death rate was higher in patients with serious liver rupture or with combined MOF. Early and accurate diagnosis and proper and timely surgical treatment are key to saving the lives of patients and improving the cure rate and death rate.
CONCLUSION: Proper and timely surgical treatment can improve survival and reduce complications in patients with traumatic liver rupture who require surgical treatment.
