- Abstract:
- In childhood there exists a considerable risk of overwhelming sepsis after splenectomy with a high mortality rate. To prevent this complication conservative treatment of traumatic splenic rupture should be attempted. Peritoneoscopy is an important diagnostic aid and facilitates the indication for conservative treatment. If laparotomy is necessary, splenorraphy is often possible. The authors' experiences are reported.
