Partial splenectomy performed by a special technique in dogs.
Closure of the splenic surface is solved at splenectomy by placing a raw of sutures using a double thread inserted at the same level by two straight needles. This technique does not require interpositions with a good haemostasis and so favours wound healing. It does not need many instruments and is easy to perform.
