Splenic repair for trauma.

The risks of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) are now well documented both in children and adults. Although the incidence of OPSI is comparatively low following splenectomy for trauma, it has a high mortality. Splenectomy is no longer the treatment of choice for splenic injury and splenic salvage is recommended whenever feasible. Since 1982, in the Isle of Wight hospitals, 13 cases of splenic injury following trauma have been treated applying various salvage procedures and are reported here.
