Selective splenic artery embolization or use of polyglycolic acid mesh in children with severe splenic trauma.

Children with splenic trauma are managed conservatively in most circumstances, and the need for surgical intervention is very rare. When surgical exploration in mandatory, splenic preservation is a worthwhile objective, using various suture methods, biomaterials, or resorbable prostheses. We present our experience over the past year with 5 severe splenic injuries.
