50
Q

extraperitoneal rectal injury treated with what?

fecal diversion can now be used alone

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=9783600

51
Q

intraperitoneal rectal injury treated with what?

A

Can hepatic lobar arteries be ligated?

A

yes, unless hypotensive

Q

What is the pringle maneuver?

A

clamp portal triad. Does not stop hepatic vein bleeding

56

rising amylase

4
