• Abstract:

  Objective: To explore the main complications associated with liver trauma, covering assessment, clinical and surgical management, and analyzing the impact of these complications on the patient's overall recovery. Method: After a careful selection of methodologies, excluding conflicts of interest and duplications, 15 articles were chosen to compose the narrative bibliographic review. The search was conducted blindly and independently. Results: The majority of patients included in the analysis were male. The main trauma mechanisms were gunshot wounds and traffic accidents. The right hepatic lobe was injured in 51.2% of cases, with hepatorrhaphy being the most frequently performed surgical correction. Additionally, patients undergoing embolization had a shorter duration of hemostatic treatments. Conclusion: The studies provided valuable information to deepen the understanding of complications arising from liver trauma, guiding more effective clinical and surgical management strategies.
