Abstract
Conservative management of hepatic trauma has been demonstrated to be effec tive in children. However. surveillance of these patients in a specialized paediatric surgery unit is essential because of the possibility of rare, bu t unavoidable complications. The authors review the 20-year experience of c onservative management of hepatic trauma reported in the literature.
