[Evaluation of the splenic function in patients with abdominal injuries undergoing splenectomy with autograft].

Splenectomy, required for splenic injuries in which conservative management is unsuitable, causes a fall of the immunological defenses, increasing the risk of sepsis. Immunological functions of the spleen can be maintained by autotransplant of splenic tissue. This is confirmed in our experience by a comparative study of haematological, immunological and scintigraphic features in 14 patients. Autotransplantation was performed in 8 cases, while the remaining 6 cases were treated with simple splenectomy.

[Conservative treatment of splenic lesions by splenorrhaphy and incomplete splenectomy in abdominal injuries].

Fifteen cases of rupture of the spleen were reported, in which a conservative form of treatment was applied with success. These consisted of 4 splenorrhaphies and 11 partial splenectomies. Collagen (PANGEN) was used in 6 of the cases to buttress the suture. In view of the relatively low incidence of post of complications, the authors are of the opinion that the above described treatment be widely applied in cases of rupture of the spleen, especially in the child where the spleen still plays a vital role.
