Abstract
n the present study 27 patients suffering from splenic trauma were subjected to splenic salvage procedures
excluding non operative salvage techniques. (9 underwent splenorrhaphy, 12 underwent partial splenectomy and 6 had subtotal splenectomies) in the Accident and Emergency
Department, Benha University Hospital and Benha Health Insurance Hospital.
There were no mortality or major morbidity among the studied patients.
Hematological and immunological studies of the involved patients demonstrated the protective effect of the
studied splenic salvage procedures with preserved immunological and hematological function of the remaining
splenic tissue.In the present work the decreased incidence of post
operative morbidity can be explained by the selection of
patients with isolated splenic injuries in addition to the
successful measures of resuscitation, decreased operative time, early removal of drains, short hospital stay, together with increased skill of the operating team.
