Background: Trauma laparoscopic splenectomy has no defined reasons. Compared trauma patient characteristics and results with laparoscopic and open splenectomies.
Methods: Patients aged 15 or older with blunt splenic injuries from January 2012 to July 2017 needed splenectomy. Demographics, splenic damage grade, approach (open or laparoscopic), surgery duration, intra-operative blood loss, transfusions, hospital stay, complications, and death were variables.
The spleen might be injured in left lower chest or upper abdomen trauma. Rib cage, diaphragm, pancreas, and bowel injuries may occur with splenic injuries. Hemodynamic instability, a rising heart rate, and low blood pressure are symptoms of damage, however the mechanism of injury requires a high index of suspicion.
