Abstract
A case of a hepatic stab wound with concomitant retrohepatic vena cava and hepatic artery injuries is presented. A direct non-shunting technique of caval repair was used. The management options of retrohepatic vena caval injuries, and the effect of hepatic artery inflow on liver regeneration after major hepatic resection are discussed.
