Changes in splenic capsule with aging; beliefs and reality
2020, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Additionally, the pediatric spleen composition may cause it to fracture in a more favorable pattern. Clinical and animal studies of rhesus monkeys show that pediatric spleens typically fracture along the planes of segmental arterial branches and therefore demonstrate less blood loss and have greater likelihood of healing.16,17 Other differences, including mechanisms of injury and adult versus pediatric trauma centers may affect the outcomes among pediatric and adult patients.
Surgical Management of Solid Organ Injuries
2017, Surgical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Management of blunt splenic trauma (BST) has substantially evolved over the past century. More than 100 years ago, evaluation of postmortem findings led Bilroth to suggest that the injured spleen has the ability of self-healing, and may be observed with NOM.48–59 The landmark Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) trial in 2000 established the failure rates based on grade of injury for BST with little to no intervention.60
Injury to the spleen
2001, Current Problems in SurgeryCitation Excerpt :However, injury to the spleen in a plane that cuts across the segmental vessels produces more bleeding and shock in experimental studies.135,139-141 Upadhyaya and colleagues135 provided anatomic evidence that splenic salvage procedures and ultimately nonoperative treatment may be successful. The authors stated that transverse tears tend to occur in blunt injury to the spleen in children; such tears occur less often in adults.
