AB  - Liver  injury  occurs  in  approximately  5%  of  all  trauma  admissions.1  The  sheer  size  of  the  organ,  along  with  its  position  under  the  right  costal  margin,  make  the  liver  exceedingly  susceptible  to  traumatic  injury.  The  management  of  liver  injuries  continues  to  evolve  with  improved  modes  of  diagnosis  and  management,  both  operatively  and  nonoperatively.  However,  the  most  severe  liver  parenchymal  and  retrohepatic  venous  injuries  as  well  as  those  involving  the  portal  triad  continue  remain  a  challenge  and  despite  technological  advances,  still  often  lead  to  death.  Therefore,  despite  our  progress  in  liver  injury  management,  many  avenues  for  improvement  remain  to  be  explored.
