Splenectomy has been performed in trauma in a number of benign lesions of the spleen and in a certain haematological diseases. When performed for trauma a luxation technique of splenectomy is applied since it allows quick haemostasis. When performed in other indications, the spleen is usually enlarged. In those patients "splenectomy in situ" is recommended. That means, first, division of the short gastric vessels and gastrosplenic ligament, second, ligation of the splenic artery and finally division of the hilar vessels after which the spleen may be simply removed. Details of operative technique, management of accessory spleens and prevention of operative complications are described.
