Abstract:
The iatrogenic splenic injuries occurred in 49 patients who underwent abdominal surgery from January 2005 to January 2020; including grade I injury in 40 cases and grade Ⅱ injury in 9 patients. The normal saline-soaked gauze was placed on the wound surface of the injured spleen, then the high-frequency electric coagulator was employed for hemostasis. The bleeding was successfully stopped and the spleens were preserved without postoperative complications in all cases. The results show that moist electrothermal coagulation can be effectively and safely applied in treatment of grade I and grade Ⅱ injury iatrogenic splenic injuries, and no special equipment required.
