Splenic artery ligation for traumatic rupture of the spleen. A case report

R Andersson et al. Acta Chir Scand. 1985.

Abstract

Reports on postsplenectomy septicemia have led to a more conservative attitude to treatment of splenic trauma. A case of traumatic rupture of the spleen treated with splenic artery ligation is presented. In the 5-year follow-up the investigations included repeated scintigraphy. Alternative management of traumatized spleen is discussed.
