Spleen injury showdown: keyhole surgery vs artery blocking
NCT ID NCT07274007
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two procedures for treating grade III spleen injuries in stable patients: laparoscopic splenectomy (keyhole removal of the spleen) and splenic artery embolization (blocking the artery to stop bleeding). Researchers will track complications, recovery time, and quality of life in 24 participants to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Laparoscopic splenectomy (surgical removal of the spleen) or splenic artery embolization (blocking blood flow to the spleen via a catheter)
- What this could lead to
- If this trial shows one method is better, it could help doctors choose the safest, most effective way to treat severe spleen injuries without open surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures have risks like infection, bleeding, or complications from anesthesia.
