Abstractconservative approach to splenic trauma has been practised in many countries. Haemodynamically stable patients who have been carefully assessed clinically and radiographically may safely be treated non-operatively. In those patients who require surgery the spleen may be preserved by splenorrhaphy or partial splenectomy. This approach has been practised at our hospital and we present our experience over seven years to show that expectant treatment of splenic injury following trauma is safe.
