| pubmed-article:2615268 | pubmed:abstractText | From analysis of experience in 284 splenectomies undertaken for various indications, in cases with accessory spleens and the formation of splenoids, and the results of heterotopic autotransplantation of splenic tissue, the authors concluded that the latter possesses high regenerative properties. The possibility of hematogenous spreading of pulp cells with subsequent formation of accessory spleens cannot be excluded, in view of which scrupulous care is needed in relation to operative techniques in performing splenectomy for hematological indications. | lld:pubmed |
