Splenic phagocytic function after partial splenectomy and splenic autotransplantation.

M A Malangoni, L G Dawes, E A Droege

    Summary

    Splenic preservation procedures like hemisplenectomy and subtotal splenectomy maintain spleen function. However, autotransplantation significantly reduces the spleen's phagocytic activity, even considering remnant weight.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Procedures
    • Immunology
    • Organ Transplantation

    Background:

    • The spleen's reticuloendothelial system is crucial for phagocytic function.
    • Preserving splenic tissue after injury or surgery is a clinical consideration.
    • The impact of different splenic preservation techniques on function requires investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effect of various splenic preservation procedures on splenic reticuloendothelial activity.
    • To determine the phagocytic capacity of the spleen following different surgical interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sham laparotomy, total splenectomy, hemisplenectomy, subtotal splenectomy, or total splenectomy with splenic autotransplantation.
    • Splenic phagocytic function was assessed nine weeks post-operation using radiocolloid uptake measurements.

    Main Results:

    • Hemisplenectomy and subtotal splenectomy maintained splenic phagocytic indices comparable to sham laparotomy.
    • Splenic autotransplantation resulted in a marked reduction in phagocytic index (15.8 +/- 2.2) compared to controls.
    • Phagocytic function after hemisplenectomy and subtotal splenectomy correlated with splenic remnant weight.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemisplenectomy and subtotal splenectomy preserve splenic phagocytic function, which is proportional to the remaining splenic tissue.
    • Splenic autotransplantation leads to a significant and persistent deficit in phagocytic function, irrespective of splenic weight.
