Abstract
Introduction. The high incidence of blunt liver injuries, general and postoperative mortality necessitate a search for optimal treatment options of the condition.
Аim. To conduct a systematic literature review and meta-analysis and compare various treatment options for patients with blunt liver injury.
Methods. A systematic search for non–randomized studies was conducted from 01 October 2015, a systematic search for randomized studies was conducted without time limits, until February 29, 2024.
Results. There is a clear trend towards non-surgical management of hemodynamically stable or stabilized patients, and in case of hemodynamic instability, the use of liver tamponade followed by angioembolization.
Conclusion. A larger number of well-planned randomized clinical trials are required to concretize the surgical approach to patients with liver injury.
