Imaging in Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic Trauma
摘要
Trauma is one of the leading causes of death and causes substantial morbidity in the productive age group [1]. Road traffic accidents constitute the bulk of causes of severe physical trauma. Abdominal trauma accounts for 5% of mortality in isolation and contributes about 15% to mortality as part of polytrauma [2]. Excessive bleeding accounts for 80–90% of acute deaths from abdominal injury out of which the liver and spleen form the major component.
