Abstract
- Liver lacerations are the most common intra-abdominal injury that leads to death, and control of hemorrhage remains the primary problem in lowering mortality. The perihehatic packing is a important technique for selected patients with major liver injuries. A major problem associated with perihepatic packing has been the adherence of the laparotomy pads to the raw surface or the omentum, which leads to recurrent bleeding related to clot disruption and avulsion of the hepatic parenchyma when the packs are removed. We had the opportunity to prevent renewed bleeding using Steri-Drapes in patients with hepatic laceration. Reported here are the effectiveness of Steri-Drepes in perihepatic gauge packing.
