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.

AbstractAccessory spleen is a developmental anomaly of spleen with an incidence of 10-30% of the population. During routine cadaveric dissection in the department of Anatomy, BIMS, Belgaum, a case of accessory spleen was found in a middle aged female cadaver. The accessory spleen was located in the gastrosplenic ligament with size less than 3 cm in diameter. The embryological basis of this splenic anomaly and its clinical implications are discussed in this article.

Accessory splenic arteries in the gastrosplenic ligament constitute one of the extremely sub-component of abdominal vasculature variations and it is imperative to recognize this anomaly while planning for complex surgeries in the supra-colic compartment. We report the case of accessory splenic arteries in an approximately 50-year-old male cadaver encountered during routine educational dissection. One of them arising from left gastroepiploic artery supplies the spleen in addition to splenic artery. Another variant vessel bifurcated to enter greater omentum and anterior pole of spleen, as discrete branches. The anatomical vascular variation, if recognized during the imaging work-ups for elective surgical procedures could avoid potential iatrogenic blood loss.
