Incidence and Predictors of Hollow Viscus Injury in Patients With Abdominal Morel-Lavalleé Injury
This national analysis demonstrates that 40% of patients with abdominal ML injury suffered HVI. Associated risk factors for HVI with abdominal ML injury included younger age, injuries to the spleen and liver, and an MVC mechanism of injury. These findings can help inform clinical decisions and improve prognostication for patients with abdominal ML injury.
