    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Severe liver trauma presents significant management challenges.
    • Outcomes are often influenced by associated injuries to other organs.
    • A structured management approach is crucial for improving survival rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an evolved management policy for severe liver trauma.
    • To share insights from a 15-year experience treating 33 severe liver trauma cases.
    • To analyze survival factors in patients with complex injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 33 severe liver trauma cases over 15 years.
    • Analysis of management strategies and patient outcomes.
    • Evaluation of associated injuries and their impact on survival.

    Main Results:

    • A refined management policy was developed over 15 years.
    • Survival was achieved in many patients with severe liver damage.
    • Successful outcomes were observed despite multiple concomitant injuries, including to the spleen and other vital organs.

    Conclusions:

    • A well-defined management policy can improve outcomes in severe liver trauma.
    • Aggressive management strategies can lead to survival even in complex cases.
    • Multidisciplinary care is essential for patients with severe liver trauma and associated injuries.
