The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the perihepatic packing procedure by comparing the outcomes of appropriately and inappropriately performed interventions. Trauma patients with liver injury were retrospectively evaluated. The patients who had undergone adequate packing were classified as Group A, and the patients who had undergone inappropriate packing, as Group B. Over a five-year period, nineteen patients underwent perihepatic packing. Thirteen of these patients were referred by other hospitals. Of 13 patients, 9 with inappropriate packing procedure due to insertion of intraabdominal drainage catheter (n=4) and underpacking (n=5) were evaluated in Group B, and the others (n=10) with adequate packing were assessed in Group A. Mean 3 units of blood were transfused in Group A and unpacking procedure was performed in the 24<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup> hour. Only 3 (30%) patients required segment resection with homeostasis, and the mortality rate was 20% (2\/10 patients). In Group B, 4 patients required repacking in the first 6 hrs. Mean 8 units of blood were transfused until unpacking procedure. The mortality rate was 44% (4\/9 patients). The length of intensive care unit stay and requirement of blood transfusion were statistically significantly lower in Group A (p &lt; 0.05). The mortality rate of this group was also lower. However, the difference between the groups for mortality rates was not statistically significant. This study emphasizes that efficacy of the procedure is one of the determinants that affects the results, and inadequate or inappropriate packing may easily result in poor outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/1749-7922-3-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,15]],"date-time":"2008-01-15T07:14:40Z","timestamp":1200381280000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Is it more dangerous to perform inadequate packing?"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Unal","family":"Aydin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pinar","family":"Yazici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Zeytunlu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Coker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"72_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1433","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-198810000-00004","volume":"28","author":"TH Cogbill","year":"1988","unstructured":"Cogbill TH, Moore EE, Jurkovich GJ, Feliciano DV, Morris JA, Mucha P: Severe hepatic trauma: a multi-centre experience with 1335 liver injuries.
