A member asked:
What is the mortality rate for splenic rupture due to trauma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The grade of injury, mechanism of injury, associated injury (i.e. Chest, liver, etc, as commonly occurs with mvc...) all figure into the overall mortality rate. Many surgeons are good at addressing splenic injury but isolated splenic injury is uncommon.
