Abstract
The preservation of a traumatized spleen protects against serious infectious complications. The importance of non-surgical conservative treatment can be explained by the often simple evolution of splenic lesions, and a better lesion analysis provided by computed tomography. Despite this, there is still no radiologic criterion for operative indication. Only clinical evaluation makes it possible to decide on surgical abstention in a hemodynamically stable injured patient.
