Hi Allen

We have been followed our non-operative management of splenic and/or hepatic trauma patients since  1993. Early
phase we have "taken care" these patients closer and we have let them out of their activities. Nowadays we
allow then to return to their lives after 4 to 6 weeks just after we check a new image study (sometimes US or
CT-scan)

The next question would be: how sure we would be about splenic function?
Probably a novell of opinions

And finally, if we are not able to confirm the splenic function, is it necessary to prevent of post-splenectomy
sepsis?

Nice case.
