  • Title: [Heterotopic autotransplant of the spleen after splenectomy in traumatic rupture. Personal experience and scintigraphic follow-up].

    Abstract:
    Certain aspects of OPSI (Overwhelming Post-Splenectomy Infection) are examined, mainly its considerable gravity, its relatively high incidence, especially in children; its difficult prophylaxis with a report on personal experience of ectopic autotransplant of spleen tissue in two young patients after splenectomy for traumatic rupture. The technique was found to be simple and quickly performed. Scintigraphic follow-up for over 4 years after the operation showed satisfactory growth in the transplanted spleen tissue.
