The cases of 337 consecutive patients undergoing splenectomy for trauma have been reviewed. The combination of physical examination and peritoneal lavage is effective and safe in establishing the need for operation. Associated injuries are the major determinants of mortality. Exsanguination, infection, and neurologic injuries are the major causes of death.
