title: [Closed traumas of the abdomen: nonsurgical treatment].
abstract: The authors analysed a series of 14 cases of blunt abdominal trauma which were treated without surgery. The lesions involved the spleen in seven cases and the liver in the other seven cases. The patients were controlled with TAC and/or ETG. The results allowed us to include the non operative treatment as a possible new way of approaching such serious traumatic problems.
