    Abstract:
    184 patients were admitted with splenic injuries, between 1992 and 1998. 131 (71%) patients were male and 53 (29%) patients were female. The average age of patients were 20.4 years. There were 176 (95%) blunt and 8 (5%) penetrating injuries. The management of our cases involved splenectomy in 164 (89%), splenorraphy in 12 (7%) and partial splenectomy in 8 (4%). 172 (93%) of the operated patients had isolated splenic injuries and 12 (7%) concomitant organ injuries. The lenght of hospital stay of splenectomies; partial splenectomy and splenorraphy were 7.9, 7 and 6 days respectively. The complication rate of splenectomy, partial splenectomies; and splenorraphy after the operation were 3 (2%), 1 (0.5%) and 0. No deaths occurred as a result of splenic injury and operation.
