[Surgical interventions in severe experimental injuries of the liver]

The authors generalize experience in experimental study of some surgical interventions in severe injuries to the liver. A total of 104 operations were carried out on 52 animals. The efficacy of gauze tamponade with the use of absorbable hemostatics is determined. The methods for applying a vascular suture in injury to the efferent hepatic veins was studied on 12 human cadavers and 10 dogs. It is concluded that gauze +hepatic tamponade is expedient, mainly in coagulopathy in which subsequent relaparotomy is necessary (optimal terms 1-3 days) and the accomplishment of final hemostasis.
