[Ways to decrease lethality in mechanical injuries to the liver].
An analysis of 135 observations of injuries of the liver and literature data of the recent 5 years (3931 cases) have shown that lethality resulting from trauma of the liver remains high and makes 20-78% of patients with closed injuries. Main causes of death of such patients are shock and blood loss. Optimization of the surgical treatment of injuries of the liver may be achieved by the introduction of reliable sources of hemostasis which are thought to be laser and plasma radiation, and by the development of effective methods of temporary hemostasis.
