[Splenectomy versus splenic salvage. Our experience].
The authors describe their experience in the surgical treatment of splenic lesions, mostly traumatic. In recent years a resolutely conservative attitude has been turned to splenic salvage, thanks to late findings on its immunological and haematological functions. Against 59 splenectomies for III-V degree lesions, the authors report a case of splenic trauma (II degree) without surgical treatment, monitored with clinical, haematological and instrumental (echography) test.
