[Plastic surgery of splenic wounds with heterogenic preserved peritoneum]

Heteroperitoneum was employed with hemostatic purposes for splenic injuries, Experiments were conducted on 80 dogs. The results of studies have evidenced the development of aseptic inflammation at the site of a contact between the spleen and a graft. The proper splenic capsule and omentum are the source of development of new connective tissues. Gradually, heteroperitoneum is subject to fibrillolysis, fragmentation and fusion. Six-seven months following the operation heteroperitoneum is completely substituted by newly-formed connective tissues. A newly-formed capsule is considerably thicker than the proper splenic capsule, and its structure differs but little from the latter. One case of clinical application of the heterogenous preserved peritoneum with hemostatic purposes in splenic trauma is described.
