Traumatic Injury of Spleen:Laparoscopic Splenectomy Vs Splenic Artery Embolization

December 8, 2025 updated by: Zagazig University

Management of Grade III Traumatic Splenic Injury in Hemodynamically Stable Patients ; Laparoscopic Splenectomy Versus Splenic Artery Embolization by Interventional Radiology

The goal of this clinical trial is selection of the best method in management of grade 3 traumatic Splenic Injury in Hemodynamically Stable Patients thus improving the quality of life and clinical outcome. The main questions it aims to answer are

  1. Assess the quality of life and clinical outcome after using laparoscopic Splenectomy in management of grade 3 traumatic Splenic Injury in Hemodynamically Stable Patients
  2. Assess the quality of life and clinical outcome after using Splenic Artery Embolization in management of grade 3 traumatic Splenic Injury in Hemodynamically Stable Patients

Researchers will compare the quality of life and clinical outcome to see if it is better using laparoscopic Splenectomy Splenic Artery Embolization

Participants will underwent laparoscopic Splenectomy or Splenic Artery Embolization and will undwent post operative follow up, follow up at outpatient clinic and will be asked about changes occurring to their daily life social activities and their quality of life
