Laparoscopia con preservación de órgano en lesión esplénica en dos tiempos por traumatismo cerrado de abdomen

Abstract

Nonoperative management (NOM) of organ injuries in abdominal blunt trauma (ABT) is based on clinical and imaging test findings. We herein present a 16-year-old male patient with a history of recent blunt abdominal trauma was admitted to the emergency department for abdominal pain in the left hypochondrium. A protocol for NOM was established based on the clinical picture and imaging findings, but afterwards, in view of the unfavorable progression, the approach was modified to laparoscopic organ-preserving surgery.
