Actual problems of medical aid rendering to the patients with the abdominal trauma accompanied by the liver parenchema damage at the prehospital and hospital stages are studied in the article. Abdominal trauma at the isolated and accompanying liver damage depending on the severity stage of parenchema damage demands differentiated treatment; it includes not only a conservative therapy but also surgical actions such as surface bleeding stopping, compression techniques(«packing» and «mesh-wrapping») up to the atypical and anatomical liver resection. Total hepatectomy with subsequent liver transplantation is the reasonable method of treatment at massive irreversible liver parenchema damage. This method should be applied only in specialized centers in case the indications are present.

Keywords: abdominal trauma, liver damages, aid rendering, liver transplantation
