PERSONAL/SOCIAL Hx: occasional smoker and alcoholic beverage drinker
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: BP= 90/70 CR=105 RR= 28 T=36.5 HEENT: pink palpebral cojunctiva,anicteric sclera, No NAD, No CLAD, No TPC HEART: adynamic precordium, NRRR, no murmur
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: CHEST AND LUNGS: Symmetric chest expansion, no retractions, clear and equal breath sounds (+) stab wound, 10th ICS, MAL, Right
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: HEART: adynamic precordium, NRRR, no murmur ABDOMEN:Flat, (+) muscle guarding at RUQ and epigastric area; direct tenderness at RUQ and epigastric area EXTREMITIES: full equal pulses, No edema
SALIENT FEATURES: • 28 y/o, M • Stab wound: 10th ICS MAL, Right • BP = 90/70 • Symmetric chest expansion, no retractions, clear and equal breath sounds • (+) muscle guarding on RUQ and epigastric areas • (+) direct tenderness RUQ and epigastric areas
Stab wound at the 10th ICS, MAL, Right Thoracoabdominal junction Abdominal Thoracic Non-penetrating Penetrating
BASIS: Patient presenting with: • Symmetric chest expansion, no retractions, clear and equal breath sounds • (+) stab wound, 10th ICS, MAL, Right • (+) muscle guarding on RUQ and epigastric areas • (+) direct tenderness RUQ and epigastric areas
Paraclinical Diagnostic Procedure CXR upright: • (-) pneumoperitoneum • (-) pneumohemothorax
GOALS OF TREATMENT 1. Identification and repair of injured organ/s • Resolve source of peritonitis • Restoration of vascular perfusion 4. Minimal complications 5. Live patient
Treatment Plan Exploratory Laparotomy
PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION • Psychosocial support • Optimize patient • Adequate hydration • Adequate antibiotic coverage • Prepare materials
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE • Patient in a supine position under GETA • Asepsis and antisepsis techniques observed • Sterile drapes placed • Midline incision done from the xiphoid up to mid pubic area carried down up to the subcutaneous
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE • Peritoneum entered by incising along the linea alba • Intraoperative findings noted: • Approximately 2 liters of intraperitoneal clotted blood evacuated • 2 cm Grade II Hepatic Laceration, segment 7 • No diaphragmatic laceration • GI tract examined for other injuries
GOALS OF TREATMENT • Repair of liver injury • Achieve hemostasis • Prevent further complications
TREATMENT PLAN Primary repair, without hepatotomy
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE • Primary repair of liver injury using horizontal mattress sutures with chromic 4-0 • Peritoneal lavage done • GI tract re-examined for other injuries • Hemostasis secured • Layer by layer closure • DSD
FINAL DIAGNOSIS Stab Wound, 10th ICS MAL, Right Grade II Hepatic Laceration, Segment 7
POST-OP CARE • Sufficient analgesia • Nutrition • Wound care • Monitoring of complications and treat as indicated
DISCHARGE ADVISE • Continue medications (Cloxacillin) at home until day 7 • Daily wound care • Resume normal daily activities • Follow up after a week or earlier if any problem arises
HEPATIC INJURIES • Liver injury occurs in approximately 5% of all trauma admissions • Size • Anatomic location • Two types of liver injury • Blunt • Penetrating
Anatomy • caudate/Spigel lobe • left posterolateral segment • left anterolateral segment • IVa) left superomedial segment • IVb) left inferomedial segment • right anteroinferior segment • right posteroinferior segment • right posterosuperior segment • right anterosuperior segment
Anatomy • caudate/Spigel lobe • left posterolateral segment • left anterolateral segment • IVa) left superomedial segment • IVb) left inferomedial segment • right anteroinferior segment • right posteroinferior segment • right posterosuperior segment • right anterosuperior segment
CRITERIA FOR NON OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT • The patient is hemodynamically stable (SBP > 100mmHg and PR < 100bpm)4 • Abdominal pain and/or tenderness are not persistent • Absence of other peritoneal injuries requiring laparotomy • <4 units of pRBCs required • <500ml of hemoperitoneum on abdominal CT • Simple hepatic laceration or intrahepatic hematoma on abdominal CT R.

COMPLICATIONS • Bleeding • Hemobilia – jaundice, RUQ pain, falling Hct , UGIB • Bilhemia – bilous venous blood dissolved in bloodstream. Increase in serum bilirubin with normal LFT • Biliary Fistula
