The non-operative management of hemodynamically stable patients with liver trauma has become the standard of care. Non-operative treatment has a success rate of >80%. In the majority of cases of hemodynamic instability or high grade liver injuries, however, a surgical approach is necessary. As for conservative treatment of liver trauma the surveillance of patients in the ICU is of utmost importance. Repeat CT scans are only necessary in patients with high grade injuries or in case of complications. Interventional procedures, such as the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in cases of biliary complications or angiography for vascular complications, are increasingly being used in order to avoid surgery. The success rates of non-operative strategies have been improving continuously over the last decades.
