A member asked:
Read somewhere liver is only organ in the abd area that can repair itself. then an abdominal injury could dmge other organs 4 life. that's disastrous.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Somewhat true: The statement that the liver is the only organ that can repair itself is somewhat misleading. All organs will heal and scar. The gut is replacing it's lining every day. It is rare that one gets an abdominal injury severe enough to take out an entire solitary organ (pancreas,stomach) and survive. Of course it is possible to lose a kidney since that is a paired not a solitary organ.
