title: [A surgical emergency: iatrogenic lesion of the spleen. Case report and review of the literature].
abstract: The spleen is an organ often injured during surgical procedures. Iatrogenic lesions belong frequently to a low grade and can be treated with a conservative therapy. The surgeon may avoid the splenectomy by using new haemostatic agents as the patch of fibrinogen and thrombin in fixed combination.
