Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Transplantation Immunology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Post-traumatic splenectomy presents challenges in restoring splenic function.
  • Conservative surgical options are not always feasible for severe splenic injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of autologous splenic pulp transplantation in patients requiring splenectomy due to trauma.
  • To assess the functional recovery of splenic tissue and immunological capacity post-transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 15 patients (aged 14-76) undergoing autologous splenic pulp transplantation.
  • Grafting of splenic pulp into omental pockets, marked with metal clips.
  • Comprehensive pre- and post-operative immunological and hematological assessments, including platelet counts, immunoglobulin M, and 99mTc-labeled hepatosplenic scintigraphy.

Main Results:

  • Successful functional recovery of splenic tissue was observed in all patients.
  • Partial restoration of hemocatheretic and immunological functions was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • Autologous splenic pulp transplantation is a simple and safe procedure for emergency splenectomies.
  • This technique facilitates the recovery of splenic functions, as supported by animal studies.
  • The method is applicable in emergency settings following splenectomy.
