    Liver resection for closed injuries is recommended for extensive wounds with compromised circulation. Patient survival after liver resection depends more on associated injuries than resection volume.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary surgery
    • Trauma surgery
    • Surgical oncology

    Background:

    • Closed liver injuries present significant management challenges.
    • Surgical intervention, including resection, is sometimes necessary for severe liver trauma.
    • Optimizing outcomes requires understanding factors influencing mortality.

    Observation:

    • The study observed 129 patients with closed liver injuries.
    • Atypical resections with vessel and bile duct ligation were the primary surgical approach.
    • Indications for resection included vast wounds, compromised circulation, and crush injuries.

    Findings:

    • Lethality was not correlated with the extent of liver resection.
    • Mortality rates were directly associated with the severity of accompanying injuries.

  • 13 out of 31 patients (41.9%) died after liver resection.
  • 47 out of 98 patients (48.0%) died after other surgical interventions for liver rupture.

    • Implications:

    • Associated injuries are critical determinants of patient outcomes following liver trauma surgery.
    • Surgical strategies for closed liver injuries should prioritize management of comorbidities.
    • Further research into non-resectional management for certain liver injuries may be warranted.
