[Conservative therapy of post-traumatic splenic rupture].
Our experiences with conservative treatment of traumatic rupture of the spleen in children are described. Laparoscopy is an important diagnostic aid, which also influences the indication for the conservative procedure. An overwhelming, mostly lethal sepsis arises in a small percentage of splenectomized patients. In children, therefore, we favor preserving the traumatized spleen, even if ruptured.
