Alternatives to splenectomy in adults after trauma. Repair, partial resection, and reimplantation of splenic tissue.

Abstract:

:Splenectomy results in a lifelong risk of overwhelming infection in the adult as well as the child. This has prompted our current enthusiasm for splenic salvage in trauma patients. A number of alternatives to total splenectomy exist; however, the complications that result from splenic salvage must not exceed the risk incurred by loss of this organ. Splenorraphy can be performed safely in the majority of patients despite associated intraabdominal injuries. When splenectomy is necessary, reimplantation of splenic tissue is feasible. The efficacy of this technique is preventing postsplenectomy sepsis remains to be established.
