[Treatment of hepatic trauma. Our experience with 14 surgically treated cases].
The authors report their experience of 14 cases of hepatic trauma that underwent surgical treatment. During the period 1987-1990, 42 patients were admitted with diagnosis of hepatic injuries to the surgical department of Ravenna Hospital. 28 of the 42 patients were subjected to repeated abdominal echography and didn't undergo surgical treatment. The authors consider the importance of the abdominal echography whether of the surgical treatment or nonoperative management. Prognosis is always serious, and it is influenced by three factors: the kind of trauma, the concomitant lesions and the general conditions of the patient. The authors, in conclusion, report the per cent of survive and of complications that they have found.
