AB Abdominal  trauma  accounts  for  15%  to  20%  of  all  trauma  deaths.1  Although  the  liver  is  the  most  frequently  injured  abdominal  organ,  the  spleen  is  the  most  frequently  injured  intra-abdominal  organ  from  sports  accidents.2  Death  may  occur  as  a  consequence  of  massive  hemorrhage  and  generally  results  in  early  demise  soon  after  the  injury.  Patients  who  survive  the  initial  traumatic  insult  are  at  risk  for  infection  and  suffer  mortality  or  morbidity  secondary  to  sepsis.
