One case was packed with gauze for hemostasis. The mortality rate was 15.2%, and the morbidity rate 30.3% . The most frequent postoperative complications related to the hepatic injury in the patients who survived the initial operation were wound infection (8.7%), intra-abdominal abscesses (6.5%), pancreatitis(6.5%),pulmonary infection (4.3%),and small bowel obstruction(4.3%).
