Tóm tắt

A series of 205 ruptured adult spleens, half of them due to personal assault, has been collected from several hospitals. In some of these cases a trial of non‐operative management has become standard practice unless other abdominal injuries are suspected. One hundred and thirty‐seven cases were managed this way initially, successfully so in 80%. Splenectomy was performed in 70 patients with eight deaths; three of them in the 27 instances where non‐operative management was said to have failed. None of these eight deaths was due to operative delay.
