title: [Traumatic splenic injury].
abstract: While the management of penetrating as well as blunt splenic injury with hemodynamic instability is straightforward with immediate operative intervention, the management of blunt splenic injury with stable hemodynamic underwent a paradigm shift over the last 3 decades. Nowadays 80 per cent of hemodynamically stable patients with blunt splenic injury can successfully be treated with a non-operative management. Angiographic embolization in selected cases is generally reported to increase the success rates of non-operative management currently approaching 95 per cent.
