[Biosorption with extracorporeal use of heterologous spleen in the complex treatment od suppurative-septic diseases].

The search for new methods in the control of purulent infection is highly topical nowadays. For this purpose a complex of intensive therapy is suggested involving hemosorption via the patient's blood perfusion through porcine heterospleen. By literature and experimental data this technique is not inferior in efficacy to the use of the donor spleen. The spleen is removed conventionally, in modification of the authors. The results of the hemosorption analysed on 82 procedures performed in 1989-1990 justify employment of the above hemosorption in view of its efficacy, availability, simplicity.
