sch.3-sec.69 Moderate injury to liver, gall bladder or biliary tract

Example of the injury 16 to 35 a laceration or contusion to the liver, with a moderate effect on liver function Comment about appropriate level of ISV An ISV at or near the bottom of the range will be appropriate if the injury causes impaired liver function with symptoms of intermittent nausea and vomiting. An ISV at or near the bottom of the range will also be appropriate if there is a gall bladder injury with recurrent infection or symptomatic stone disease, the symptoms of which may include, for example, pain or jaundice. An ISV at or near the middle of the range will be appropriate if the injury involves removal of the gall bladder causing a bile duct injury. An ISV at or near the top of the range will be appropriate if— surgery is required to remove not more than 30% of the liver; or bile ducts require repair, for example, placement of stents. An ISV at or near the top of the range will also be appropriate if there is an injury to the gall bladder, that despite biliary surgery, causes ongoing symptoms, infection or the need for further endoscopic surgery.
