Blunt abdominal trauma frequently injures the spleen. While splenic preservation is successful in children, adult splenic injury management remains complex and controversial, requiring careful clinical assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • The spleen is the most frequently injured organ following blunt abdominal trauma, despite its protected location.
  • Evolving management strategies are driven by advances in surgical techniques and noninvasive diagnostic methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding and management of splenic trauma.
  • To highlight the historical development and ongoing controversies in splenic injury treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on splenic injury management.
  • Discussion of splenic preservation techniques and grading systems.
  • Comparison of pediatric and adult splenic trauma outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Splenic preservation techniques and nonoperative management have shown success in pediatric populations.

  • Adult patients with splenic injuries exhibit more unpredictable clinical courses compared to children.
  • Computerized tomography (CT) grading systems aid in assessing splenic injury severity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Splenic salvage, including splenorrhaphy and nonoperative management, is a key consideration in splenic trauma.
    • Despite advancements, the management of splenic trauma in adults remains a subject of debate in surgical and radiological fields.
