Anatomy and techniques in segmental splenectomy

J A Dixon, F Miller, D McCloskey

    Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics
    |April 1, 1980

    Summary

    Preserving spleen tissue and function is crucial. This study shows that while microfibrillar collagen and neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet lasers can control peripheral bleeding, larger vessels require ligation for effective splenic resection in dogs.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Innovation
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • Clinical evidence supports spleen tissue and function retention.
    • Angiographic studies reveal intrasplenic vascular anatomy: lobar, segmental, with limited intersegmental communication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate methods for controlling bleeding during splenic resection.
    • To assess the efficacy of microfibrillar collagen and neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser in canine splenic surgery.
    • To establish a reliable technique for segmental or subtotal splenic resection in dogs.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized microfibrillar collagen and Nd:YAG laser for peripheral bleeding control in canine spleens.
    • Employed vessel ligation for larger segmental vessels in intermediate/hilar regions.
    • Facilitated vessel identification through laser or collagen coagulation of surrounding splenic tissue.
    • Conducted histologic studies at 10, 20, and 30-day intervals to assess healing.

    Main Results:

    • Peripheral bleeding from penicilli, venules, and sinuses was effectively managed with microfibrillar collagen or Nd:YAG laser.
    • Larger segmental vessels in the intermediate or hilar regions necessitated ligation.
    • Coagulation techniques aided in identifying target vessels.
    • Histologic examination showed no delayed complications like sloughing, hemorrhage, or cyst formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Segmental or subtotal splenic resection in dogs can be achieved with minimal blood loss.
    • A combination of vascular anatomy knowledge, microfibrillar collagen, Nd:YAG laser, and vessel ligation enables safe splenic resection.
    • The described techniques support the preservation of splenic function through controlled resection.
