[Choice of procedure in the surgical treatment of liver injuries].
We give an analysis of liver-rupture cases among our own patients and discuss the problems of diagnosis and surgical therapy. Total lethality is 29%; this is dependent on quick diagnostic procedure, the number and severity of accompanying traumas, and the type of liver rupture. The main diagnostic feature seems to be peritoneal lavage, Operative procedure depends on the type and severity of the liver rupture. We therefore propose a classification of the types of liver ruptures, together with their adequate surgical therapy. Some postoperative complications can also be avoided.
