Rupture of the spleen. An analysis of 421 cases
Abstract:
A detailed analysis of a prospective series of 421 patients with rupture of the spleen, who all underwent laparotomy, is presented. Delayed rupture occurred in 8% of cases. In 37% of patients with blunt injury there were additional intraperitoneal injuries that required laparotomy, and also in 79% with penetrating injury. Fifty per cent of patients with blunt trauma had chest injuries; 18% of ruptured spleens were sutured. Only 3 patients died from haemorrhage due to splenic injury--less than 1%.
