title: [Splenic conservative surgery in infants].
abstract: We emphasize the present change of surgical attitude towards splenic injuries from radical surgery to conservative techniques. The research results from experimenting upon 12 dogs with splenorrhaphies, segmentary resections and partial heterotopic autotransplantations are presented. Splenorrhaphy clinical application was tried in 12 children followed by satisfactory results, without morbi-mortality. We considered scintigraphy with 99m technetium-sulfide colloid to be the best method known for early diagnosis of spleen injury. Likewise, we suggest the possibility of partial heterotopic autotransplantation in cases with necessary splenectomy.
