[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.
