Abstract
Spleen-preserving operations, either for maintenance of the whole organ or for partial resection, have absolute priority over autotransplantation when suitably indicated. Experimental examinations have shown that after the completion of the nidation phase, partial function of the spleen is taken over by the implants. The rate of survival of the experimental animals after intravenous pneumococcal exposure was, however, decreased, compared with those with intact, repaired, or partially resected spleens (Alwmark et al. 1983).
