Retrospective cohort study of paediatric splenic injuries at a major adult trauma centre in South Africa identifies areas of success and improvement.
2021
This study reviews our experience with paediatric splenic trauma in a major trauma centre in South Africa. We reviewed the management and outcomes of 66 paediatric patients and concluded that selective non-operative management of paediatric splenic trauma can be undertaken successfully in a middle-income country such as South Africa. The grade of splenic injury itself is rarely the sole determinant of operative or non-operative treatment and clinical outcome.
