Delayed versus early hepatic resection among patients with severe traumatic liver injuries undergoing damage control laparotomy - 22/11/23
Abstract |
Introduction |
We aimed to assess the effect of time to hepatic resection on the outcomes of patients with high-grade liver injuries who underwent damage control laparotomy (DCL).
Methods |
This is a 4-year (2017–2020) analysis of the ACS-TQIP. Adult trauma patients with severe liver injuries (AAST-OIS grade ≥ III) who underwent DCL and hepatic resection were included. We excluded patients with early mortality (<24 h). Patients were stratified into those who received hepatic resection within the initial operation (Early) and take-back operation (Delayed).
Results |
Of 914 patients identified, 29% had a delayed hepatic resection. On multivariable regression analyses, although delayed resection was not associated with mortality (aOR:1.060,95%CI[0.57–1.97],p = 0.854), it was associated with higher complications (aOR:1.842,95%CI[1.38–2.46],p < 0.001), and longer hospital (β: +0.129, 95%CI[0.04–0.22],p = 0.005) and ICU (β:+0.198,95%CI[0.14–0.25],p < 0.001) LOS, compared to the early resection.
Conclusion |
Delayed hepatic resection was associated with higher adjusted odds of major complications and longer hospital and ICU LOS, however, no difference in mortality, compared to early resection.

• | The rate of mortality and morbidity for high-grade liver injuries remains high. |
• | There is a lack of data on the effect of hepatic resection timing on the outcomes. |
• | There was no association between mortality and timing of hepatic resection. |
• | Early hepatic resection is associated with improved outcomes. |
• | High-grade liver injury management Guidelines should be reevaluated. |
