Abstract
The results of organ-saving treatment for 84 children with closed transcapsular spleen rupture were studied. Criteria for the stipulation of differential curative tactics were present. Twenty-five children were treated conservatively. In 57 patients, different endosurgical manipulations were done. Laparotomy was done in 5 patients, including 3 patients who primarily had endosurgical treatment. Long-term results were studied for 29 children. The followup period was from 3 months to 4 years. Investigators showed that recommended tactics helped save organs in > 90% of children with transcapular splenic injuries. The possibility of restoring splenic structure and functional activity and preventing hyposplenism was proven by orthotopic saving of injured spleens.
