Anatomia Clinica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The role played by the spleen in the immunological defence against infection is well known. The authors have carried out an anatomical and experimental study on the vascular segmentation of the spleen, on which they base the technique of controlled partial splenectomy. They emphasise that in 300 splenorraphies and partial splenectomies collected in 1979 from the literature by Morgenstein, no case necessitated further surgical intervention for removal of remaining spleen.

Résumé

Le rôle joué par la rate dans la défense immunologique contre l'infection est bien connu. Les auteurs font une étude de la segmentation vasculaire de la rate, anatomique et expérimentale, à partir de laquelle est décrite la technique d'une splénectomie partielle réglée. Ils rappellent que sur 300 splénorraphies et splénectomies partielles colligées en 1979 dans la littérature par Morgenstein, aucune réintervention pour complément d'exérèse n'est signalée.
