title: Experimental and clinical experience with the different possibilities of preserving splenic tissue after rupture of the spleen.
abstract: From clinical observation in adults, it is obvious that the preservation of the ruptured spleen is only possible in about 80% of all cases. Current evidence indicates that only the completely or partially intact spleen protects against pneumococcal sepsis. The best method of reimplantation has not yet been found.
