Experimental and clinical experience with the different possibilities of preserving splenic tissue after rupture of the spleen.
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.
