Abstract
SURGERY of the liver has lagged behind surgical operations on the other abdominal viscera, mainly because of the difficulty of controlling hemorrhage. However, with the recent development of absorbable hemostatic substances in the form of sponges and packs, control of hemorrhage from the liver can be obtained. The purpose of this paper is to present 3 cases of traumatic rupture of the liver in which hemorrhage was controlled with oxycel and gelfoam.Historical ReviewIn 1888 Langenbuch,1 with mass ligatures, controlled severe liver hemorrhage following partial resection.Kousnetzoff and Penski,2 in 1896, devised a special needle for liver suture.
