Abstract
Non-operative management of hepatic injury in children with abdominal trauma represents a standard of care. A major duct injury with persistent bile leakage may result from trauma to the liver. This injury is of concern in patients treated non operatively because it generally requires major hepatic surgery. We report on a case of a 13-year-old boy with an hepatic duct injury from trauma in which healing occurred without surgical repair or resection.
