ABSTRACT
To summarize the evolution of spleen surgery and prospects the future. The knowledge on the splenic function (anti-infection, cancer and certain blood effects)gradually promotes the reform of spleen surgery in clinical practical, resulting all kinds of spleen-preserving surgery when splenic injury. However,there is still controversy about spleen removal or reservation under the condition of portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis patients, because advantages and disadvantages between these different operations. Laparoscopic splenectomy is a major progress in recent years,the standard operation need to be further explored. Spleen transplantation in the treatment of hemophilia A is one of the characteristics of the spleen surgery in China, and this is the leading position in the world, now we will focus on how to prevent chronic spleen graft dysfunction. To keep the advanced international level, Chinese teams on spleen surgery are still required to deepen the related research and strengthen the academic communication in the future.
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted by consecutively transplanting spleens, which had gonads implanted previously. A total of 84 cases for infantile testicles and 106 cases for ovarian follicles were performed. In the case of ovarian implants, the results were determined by the total number of follicle implants. A modified spleen transplantation technique called double implantation of ovarian follicles was applied to increase the amount of the implants. In this technique, an extra spleen is implanted into the potential donor so that the ovarian follicles can be implanted to two different spleens, doubling the amount of implants. Through consecutive spleen transplantation, we observed the results beyond a typical rat's life span. In many of these cases, we found more aggressive forms of malignant tumor, seminoma and dysgerminoma. We present the results and discuss possible pathogenic mechanisms of tumor formation.
