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  sepsis.
