Background: Hepatic trauma represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in abdominal trauma. Its management has evolved significantly thanks to advances in imaging and non-operative treatment. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study of 35 cases of hepatic trauma managed in the Department of Visceral Surgery at Ibn Tofail Hospital, Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech, between January 2021 and December 2022. Results: Male predominance (91%), mean age 30 years. Road traffic accidents were the main etiology (85%). Non-operative management was adopted in 91.4% of cases. Three patients required surgical management. No deaths were recorded. One complication (hepatic abscess) was observed. Conclusion: Non-operative management represents the cornerstone of hepatic trauma care in hemodynamically stable patients. Rigorous monitoring and adequate technical facilities are essential to its success.
