dc.description.abstract | The aim of the study was to review traumatic splenic injury following blunt
abdominal trauma (BAT), during the period from January 2009 to January
2015 at SQUH. The data for this study was retrospectively collected. It included
768 patients admitted to SQUH general surgery department following
BAT. 43 patients with splenic injury were identified (34 males, 9 females). The
mean age of patients with splenic injury was 36.0 years (34.4 years for males,
42.1 years for females). The most common mechanism of injury was motor
vehicle collision (90.7%). Grade I, II are the most common grades of splenic
injury. Non-Omani patients accounted for (51.2%) and most of them were
pedestrians at the time of trauma. Ribs fracture is the most common injury
associated with splenic injury. 36 (83.7%) patients were managed conservatively
and 7 (16.3%) patients were splenectomized. Angioembolization was
done for 11 (30.6%) patients. Despite the small population of Oman, high incidence
of motor vehicle collision (MVC) increases the incidence of splenic
injury among young age group. | en_US |
