title: [Injuries of the spleen. Value of an absorbable perisplenic mesh. 15 cases].
abstract: Over a 2-year period, 15 patients with spleen injuries underwent a spleen repair using an absorbable perisplenic mesh. This procedure was the sole treatment in 11 cases, and it proved both simple and reliable. No major complication was observed. Eight patients could be followed up until the computerized tomographic images became normal. The absorbable perisplenic mesh is an important improvement, and in some cases it may replace other techniques for arresting splenic bleeding.
