Abstract:
The authors give an account of 69 patients hospitalized in 1975-1986 in the Traumatological Research Institute in Brno on account of liver injuries. The mean age of the patients was 38.3 years. The liver injury was very frequently associated with serious craniocerebral injuries, with injuries of the chest and other intraabdominal organs and the total lethality was 62.3%. The most frequent cause were traffic injuries (50 cases). Blunt liver injuries accounted for 92.8% of the cases.
