Partial splenectomy for nonparasitic splenic cysts

L Morgenstern et al. Am J Surg. 1980 Feb.

Abstract

Four cases of partial splenectomy for large, nonparasitic splenic cysts are described. In all four patients it was possible to successfully preserve most of the splenic parenchyma. With the increasing realization of the importance of splenic function, the feasibility of this operative approach to splenic cysts is proposed.
