Summary
Trauma is a major global health concern. Current trends in spleen trauma management favor conservative approaches to preserve splenic function, recognizing the spleen
Area of Science:
- Traumatology
- Surgical Management
- Organ Preservation
Background:
- Trauma ranks as the fourth leading cause of death globally and the primary cause of mortality in individuals under 45.
- Abdominal trauma accounts for 10-12% of all polytrauma cases, with the spleen and liver being the most frequently injured organs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evolving therapeutic strategies for spleen trauma.
- To highlight the shift towards organ-preserving treatments in managing splenic injuries.
Main Methods:
- Review of current clinical and experimental data on spleen trauma management.
- Analysis of treatment trends, including non-surgical, conservative surgical, and splenectomy approaches.
Main Results:
- Spleen trauma management has diversified over decades, encompassing non-surgical and various surgical interventions.
- Evidence supports the principle of spleen preservation: intact spleen > partial spleen > no spleen.
Conclusions:
- Modern therapeutic trends for spleen trauma are increasingly oriented towards conservative methods.
- Preserving splenic tissue is prioritized to maintain organ function and patient outcomes.
