Selective nonoperative management (NOM) of blunt splenic injuries is becoming a more prevalent practice. Inclusion criteria for NOM, which have been a source of controversy, continue to evolve. Age > or = 55 years has been proposed as a predictor for failure of and even a contraindication to NOM of blunt splenic trauma. Additionally, the high rate of NOM in children (up to 79%) has been attributed to their management by pediatric surgeons. We evaluated our experience with NOM of blunt splenic injury with special attention to these age groups.
