September 1991
The installment of 4-step diagnostic system led to an improvement of the final diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. The average time during which pancreatic cancer proceeds from the onset of symptoms to computed tomography or laparotomy shortened considerably due to the application of the system screening procedures as well as of modern imaging techniques.

- 12% of patients with splenic trauma experience splenic contusion.
- The primary diagnostic tools for identifying this condition are computerized tomography (CT) and angiography.
- Treatment typically involves conservative management, but surgery is necessary if complications arise, such as splenic abscess, thrombophlebitic splenomegaly, or intrasplenic hematoma.
Article Synopsis
- Posttraumatic conditions affecting the spleen were identified in 33 patients with splenolithiasis, along with several other issues in smaller groups, including hematoma and splenosis.
- Diagnosis relies on patient history and various imaging techniques like ultrasounds, CT scans, scintigraphy, laparoscopy, and angiography.
- Severe splenomegaly and hypersplenism may require surgery, with splenectomy being the preferred approach; further research on less invasive treatments is still needed.
Article Synopsis
- Eight patients with spleen abscesses were studied, showing no unique clinical features.
- Conventional signs like splenomegaly are not reliable indicators of spleen abscesses.
- Ultrasound and CT scans were key diagnostic tools, and prompt treatment, especially splenectomy, led to good outcomes.
