THE POSSIBILITY OF CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT OF BLUNT AND PENETRATING LIVER TRAUMA OF VARIOUS SEVERITY

Abstract

Until now, surgery is a standard treatment strategy in liver trauma. However, continuous evolution and improvement of imaging and interventional techniques open a wide perspective for conservative management of liver trauma patients. In the recent years, this method is getting more and more widely used and becomes a component of the standard care protocols for patients with liver trauma in tertiary centers.
