NCT ID NCT06334263
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at 8000 trauma patients with spleen injuries to figure out the best treatment approach. Researchers want to compare surgery (splenectomy) with a less invasive procedure (embolisation) and see what works best for different injury grades. The goal is to improve future treatment decisions and design better studies.
