Line 47:246 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"Most splenic injuries in haemodynamically-stable patients are treated non-surgically. Splenic artery embolisation plays a major role in treating high-grade splenic injuries (both in haemodynamically-stable and -unstable patients; practice varies from institution-to-institution)."
