Abstract
Introduction: Hepatic trauma presents a serious challenge for emergency medicine staff because it carries a high risk of major mortality and morbidity. The extent of liver injury determines appropriate treatment because professionals use diagnostic images along with supportive care while reserving surgery for severe cases. A cooperative system between radiologists and surgeons proves essential to advance therapeutic success for patients.
Objectives: An analysis has been conducted at a tertiary care hospital to evaluate radiology and surgery professionals who manage hepatic injury patients while studying their impact on therapeutic approaches and results.
Materials and Methods: Research team members gathered data at Pir Abdul Qadir Shah Jilani Institute of Medical Sciences, Gambat, Sindh using a sample of 75 patients within the retrospective cohort study. The research data collected from September 2018 to August 2024 underwent analysis for diagnostic approaches alongside treatment methods and patient result evaluations.
Results: Research demonstrated that embolization as a non-surgical treatment approach successfully treated 55% of patients, while surgical intervention became necessary for the remaining 45% of patients.
Conclusion: Hepatic trauma patients achieve better management and clinical outcomes through joint efforts between radiologists and surgeons.
