Abstract:
The safety and effectiveness of nonoperative management of selected adults have been confirmed in those patients who meet selection criterias of isolated splenic injury and hemodynamic stability. The CT scan is a very precise and the most specific diagnostic procedure in splenic trauma. Nonoperative treatment is successful in 80% of adults in such selected group of patients.
