What happens when the spleen breaks?

Because of its brittle texture, the spleen can easily rupture due to trauma. If the rupture is very serious and not diagnosed and treated in time, it can be life-threatening, especially if it is a total splenic rupture or extensive rupture of the splenic parenchyma, the blood supply of the spleen is completely interrupted, and the spleen itself has a hemorrhagic function, and it is bleeding itself as well as the blood vessels that are connected to it, and a large bruise is formed in the abdominal cavity during the operation very quickly and the patient will soon suffer from ischemic shock. If the splenic rupture is not very extensive, or if the periphery of the spleen is ruptured as a result of a penetrating injury, one part of the spleen can be preserved in time for resuscitation, and the other part can be removed. Extensive splenic rupture requires total splenectomy, so splenic rupture can be life-threatening in severe cases, and if resuscitated in time, there will be sequelae and complications brought about by distant splenectomy.
