Gunshot Wound Versus Blunt Liver Injuries: Different Liver-Related Complications and Outcomes.

Severe hepatic injury due to gunshot (GSW) compared to blunt mechanism may have significantly different presentation, management, complications, and outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the differences. Retrospective single-center analysis June 1, 2015–June 30, 2020, included all patients with Grade III–V liver injuries due to GSW or blunt mechanism. Clinical characteristics, severity of injury, liver-related complications (rebleeding, necrosis/abscess, bile leak/biloma, pseudoaneurysm, acute liver failure) and overall outcomes (mortality, hospital length of stay, intensive care unit length of stay, and ventilatory days) were compared. Of 879 patients admitted with hepatic trauma, 347 sustained high-grade injury and were included: 81 (23.3
