Abstract

The spleen is one of the most commonly injured organs in the body to get traumatized. It can be associated with significant mortality. It is commonly injured following penetrating trauma and one of the most most commonly injured organ following blunt trauma to the left side if abdomen. Due to the soft consistency the injuries are often minor and can be easily managed. The article pinpoints the various anatomico surgical facts in relation to spleenic injuries. We report two cases of abdominal trauma where both the patients had spleenic injuries. Due to the immunological role of spleen and the recognition of the fact that spleenectomy renders patient suscept to life long risks of sepsis, the shift and focus has been towards spleenic conservation in most cases.
