Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Traumatic splenic injury management is critical.
  • Splenorrhaphy is a preferred safety procedure, while splenectomy is reserved for severe cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of splenorrhaphy versus splenectomy in traumatic splenic injuries.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of splenorrhaphy with adjuncts.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 16 patients with traumatic splenic injuries from January 1988 to December 1988.
  • Splenorrhaphy performed in 10 patients using catgut, omental patch, and Gelfoam.
  • Splenectomy performed in 6 patients.

Main Results:

  • Splenorrhaphy resulted in a 10% mortality rate, unrelated to the procedure.
  • Splenectomy had a 33.3% mortality rate, primarily due to associated intra-abdominal injuries.

    • Conclusions:

    • Splenorrhaphy is a viable and safe option for traumatic splenic injuries.
    • Splenectomy is associated with higher mortality, often due to concomitant injuries.
