Because of the incidence of overwhelming postsplenectomy sepsis that occurs after splenectomy, there is an increased incentive to try to salvage the spleen in patients with splenic injury. Even though operative time is increased by this technique, the advantage of immunologic competence is well worth the added operative time. In hemodynamically unstable patients, however, splenectomy remains the method of choice.
The good results were confirmed in a follow-up examination of 23 patients two to six months after surgery. No signs of disturbed wound healing and/or inadequate organization of the clot could be observed catamnestically, clinically, and roentgenologically. The late infections often observed after implantation of Gelastypt S (with Surfen) did not develop after use of Gelastypt M 1/2. This preparation therefore may be recommended without restriction.
