3.Iatrogenic Abdominal Injury.
Korean Journal of Legal Medicine 1998;22(2):85-90
Surgical operation or invasive diagnostic procedure may inflict unwanted mechanical injury on either tissue or organ. Iatrogenic injury is said that unwanted, accidental mechanical injury of the body, caused by surgical procedures. Rarely intraabdominal operation, spinal surgery or invasive diagnostic procedures can cause iatrogenic abdominal injury, which becomes the subject of a medicolegal investigation by prolonged treatment period, sequelae, and death.

Thoracic splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue in the left thoracic cavity as a result of a splenic injury. This rare pathology is usually asymptomatic and may be discovered on incidental imaging, but the diagnosis often requires invasive procedures such as surgery in order to eliminate a neoplasic origin. We report a rare symptomatic case of a 39-year-old man presenting with chest pain and multiple nodules revealed on a computed tomography scan. The patient underwent a surgical exploration and the pathological studies concluded to a thoracic splenosis. Indeed, the previous medical history of the patient revealed a left thoraco-abdominal traumatism during childhood. The aim of this paper is to emphasize that the diagnosis can now be performed using only imaging techniques such as technetium-99 sulfur colloid or labelled heat-denatured red blood cell scintigraphy to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures including thoracotomy.

Delayed splenic rupture is a rare complication of blunt abdominal trauma in which the time interval from injury to splenic rupture is > 48 hours. The diagnosis can be challenging if the history of trauma is remote, or initially missed, because symptoms may present subtly and without classic historical associations. We report a case of delayed rupture of the spleen from remote, minor trauma that required an emergency splenectomy.

7.Duodenal Injury after Blunt Abdominal Trauma: Report of Two Cases.
Journal of the Korean Society of Traumatology 2012;25(3):94-96
Duodenal injuries following a blunt or penetrating trauma are uncommon and account for just 3% to 5% of all abdominal injuries. About 22% of all duodenal injuries are caused by blunt trauma. An overlooked injury or delayed diagnosis of duodenal injury may lead to increased mortality and morbidity. We report two cases of a duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma.

9.Some remarkable on indication and conservation splencectomy results in closed abdominal injury
Journal of Practical Medicine 2004;490(10):59-60
45 patients with spleen trauma were treated in the hospital No 19-8. Among then, 17 underwent a prevervative operation for suturing the spleen according to the state of trauma in site, the surgeon's qualification and the follow- up conditions. The preservative suture must be safe, spleen function must be preserved, any spleen edge could be partialy removed in case of injury. Early result can be altained in 94,11% and early post operative complication in 5,89% of cases.

We present a case of thoracic splenosis in a 42-yr-old man with a medical history of abdominal surgery for a penetration injury with an iron bar of the left abdomen and back. He had been in good condition, but a chest radiograph taken during a regular checkup showed a multinodular left pleura-based mass. Computed tomography (CT) showed that the mass was well-enhanced and homogeneous, indicating a sclerosing hemangioma. Following its removal by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the mass appeared similar to a hemangioma, with marked adhesion to the left side diaphragmatic pleura and lung parenchyma. Frozen section showed that the lesion was a solid mass consisted with abundant lymphoid cells, suggesting a low grade lymphoma. On permanent section, however, the mass was found to be composed of white pulp, red pulp, a thick capsule and trabeculae and was diagnosed as ectopic splenic tissue, or thoracic splenosis. Review of the patient's history and chest CT at admission revealed that the patient had undergone a splenectomy for the penetration injury 20 yr previously.
