Computed tomography in hepatic trauma.

摘要: Twenty-five patients with hepatic injury from blunt upper abdominal trauma were examined by computed tomography (CT). The spectrum of CT findings was recorded, and the size laceration associated hemoperitoneum correlated mode therapy used in each case (operative vs. nonoperative). While need for surgery roughly laceration, an important modifying factor. Fifteen lacerations but little or no managed nonoperatively. seems to have significant advantages over scintigraphy, angiography, diagnostic peritoneal lavage. By combining information on clinical state patient findings, can be individualized incidence nontherapeutic laparotomies decreased.
