This Splenic laceration grading calculator determines the degree of splenic injury caused by blunt trauma based on spleen hematoma and laceration. Discover more about spleen trauma and the AAST grades in the text below the form. ■ Capsular laceration <1 cm depth. ■ Laceration 1-3 cm depth not involving trabecular vessels.
It is according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) splenic injury grading system and comprises of the five gradings as explained below: ■ Capsular laceration <1 cm depth.
The grading depends on the extent and depth of the splenic hematoma and the existence or not of a laceration and if yes, in what dimensions. The spleen is one of the most commonly injured organs in the abdomen alongside the liver, it is placed in the left upper quadrant under the 9th to 12th pairs of ribs.
Spleen trauma is graded from 1 to 5 in increasing order of severity. Grade 1 is less than 10% of surface area involved in hematoma or capsule laceration less than 1 cm. Grade 2 is hematoma 10 to 50% of surface or capsule laceration 1 to 3 cm in depth.
The grading is based on the CT scan, operative, or autopsy findings. There are five grades of splenic injury (Fig. 1; Table 1). Generally, grades I and II are considered as minor injuries, grade III as a moderate injury, and grades IV and V as severe injuries (Figs.
Codes S36. 031A, Moderate laceration of spleen, initial encounter, and S36. 029A, Unspecified contusion of spleen, initial encounter, were assigned to describe a grade 3 splenic laceration with contusion.
Splenic rupture occurs when the spleen is placed under intense pressure/duress, strong enough to tear or separate the outer lining of the organ. A ruptured spleen accounts for 10% of all abdominal injuries.

Splenic avulsion which is the failure of the complex “Pancreatico-Splenic Ligament” (PSL) can occur in the hilar zone or the segmental zone. It is caused in part by the spleen mobility, which is a solid organ [3, 20]. The PSL is anatomically complex, continuous and heterogeneous.
The presentation of splenic injury depends upon associated internal hemorrhage. Patients may present with hypovolemic shock manifesting tachycardia, and hypotension. Other findings include tenderness in the upper left quadrant, generalized peritonitis, or referred pain to the left shoulder (Kehr's sign).
