Abstract:
Liver and spleen are the organs most frequently involved in the blunt abdominal trauma. Prognosis is severe in those cases classified as IV or V according to the More score. The imaging techniques, particularly CT scan, offer today a possibility in the nonoperative management of a selected group of haemodynamically stable patients, therefore reducing the need of surgery. The authors' experience in 125 patients observed from 1983 to 1991 is reported.
