| Sumario: | The present work carries out a retrospective review of the secondary complications of hepatic injuries. Out of a group of 239 cases, 67 cases labelled :as severe orcomplex were selected: 42 blunt injuries, 20 gunshot wounds, and 5 stab wounds: Forty six ( 63 % ) were hospitalized with elements of circulatory failure and31 of the latter ( 67 % ) were actively bleeding at the time of laparotomy. Bursting and deep fractures of theparenchyma had a very high morbi-mortality. Delayed post-operative deaths were related to bilio-hematic peritonitis, infection of sequestra or hematomas, with sepsis and acute renal failure. In these circumstances, a conservative surgical management resulted in a very high percentage of complicatlons. Resections somewhatpreserved from these secondary complications. When the contuslon focus is not feasible to resect, the post-operative course must be led with aggressive criterion, in order to have early detection and treatment of eventual complications. |
