Master General Surgery And Trauma
🎙️ Episode Title: Modern Splenic Trauma Management: From Preservation to Precision 📝 Episode Description (English): In this episode of the Master General Surgery – Trauma Series, we explore the evolving landscape of splenic trauma management in both adults and children. Based on recent literature and a high-stakes pediatric case presented during a trauma conference, this discussion highlights the shift toward nonoperative management (NOM), the expanding role of angioembolization, and the critical indications for surgical intervention. We dive deep into: * The updated AAST-OIS 2018 classification for splenic injury * The immunological importance of the spleen and risks of OPSI * How to interpret imaging findings (FAST vs. CT vs. blush) * Indications for splenectomy and splenorrhaphy * Pediatric-specific considerations: higher NOM success, lower AE use * A real-life case of pediatric multisystem trauma requiring splenectomy * Post-splenectomy care and vaccination timing * Areas of ongoing research: pseudoaneurysms, prophylactic AE, VTE prevention 🧠 Take-Home Messages: • NOM is the standard for most hemodynamically stable patients • Splenic preservation reduces the risk of immunologic complications • AE is an essential adjunct, but indications must be individualized • Children have high NOM success—but instability always outweighs imaging • Clinical judgment and trauma leadership remain the backbone of decision-making 📡 Available now on all major podcast platforms and in the Google Classroom of the Abdominal Wall and Content Group at Hospital das Clínicas – University of São Paulo. 🙏 Don’t forget to follow and share this episode with colleagues and trauma teams!
