Methods and results The study is a hospital based observational study. All the cases admitted in the emergency department and surgical wards which satisfy the inclusion criteria were included in the study. From December 2016 to 2017, 30 cases with only splenic injuries were studied who got admitted to surgical units in Sri Venkateswara Ramanarayan Ruia hospital, Tirupathi. 63.33% of patients were managed non– operatively successfully. Rest 36.66% cases were taken up for surgery due to instability in their hemodynamic status. CONCLUSION CECT abdomen is the investigation of choice in patients with splenic injuries.
