[Anatomic resection of spleen in experiment].

The study was carried out in 35 dogs. Basic surgical techniques developed experimentally for organ-saving operations on the spleen are presented. Methods of lobar and segmental resections of the spleen based on detailed study of variants of branching of splenic artery and vein are described. Angiography visualized sharply splenic arteries after lobar and segmental resections, including the stumps of transected arteries. Ultrasonic examination, performed before operation and in different terms after it (3-360 days), specified the size, shape echostructure and anatomic relationship of the spleen with adjacent organs before and after operation.
