ABSTRACT
The effects of splenic artery ligation (SAL) were examined in Sprague-Dawley rats with methyl-cellulose-induced hypersplenism. When performed close to the splenic hilium, SAL effectively reduced functioning splenic mass and raised peripheral counts of leukocytes and platelets, a response similar to that following total splenectomy. In hypersplenism, therefore, a satisfactory hematologic response may not necessary require total ablation of the spleen but merely substantial reduction of functioning splenic tissue.
