Abstract
The use of heterotopic splenic autografts is demonstrated as a means of preserving functioning splenic tissue in 15 patients undergoing splenectomy for trauma. In all patients, functioning splenic autografts could be shown by scintigraphy, using 99mTc-labeled erythrocytes or 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid, performed 12 wk after implantation.Keywords
