[Nonoperative treatment of liver superficial injuries].
The study is based on the results of conservative and operative surgical treatment of 184 victims with open and closed, isolated and combined injuries of the liver. The patients' age was from 15 to 80 years. All patients were examined and treated in 1991 to 1996 in Moscow clinical hospital No 67. Conservative treatment for superficial injuries of the liver were carried out in 72 patients. 112 patients underwent urgent operations. Conservative treatment included: examination, control diagnostic laparoscopy and introduction of control drainage followed by dynamic laparoscopy. Operative treatment included: laparotomy, revision of the abdominal cavity, sutures or resection of the liver, surgical treatment of the other abdominal organs. Comparative analysis of two methods of treatment demonstrated possibility and necessity of the use of conservative treatment for superficial injuries of the liver, especially in combined traumas.
