Surgical technic for treatment of splenic rupture.

In nine baboons and one dog, a technic for suturing the injured spleen and also providing immediate control of hemorrhage is described. By placing Silastic strips along the wound edges of the transverse incision into the spleen and along the surface and bottom edges of the wound after resection, it was possible to control bleeding with deep U sutures passing through the Silastic bolsters and the spleen tissue. The procedure appears to provide a reliable method of salvaging splenic tissue and thus avoiding the hazard of postsplenectomy sepsis.
