On preliminary ligation of the splenic artery in the removal of the spleen

Abstract

In No. 35 of "Nov. Khir. Arch.", the article of Prof. Brzhozovsky entitled "Preliminary ligation of the splenic artery as a way to limit blood loss during removal of the spleen" was published in 1926. In this article the author proposes to perform double-moment vessel ligation during splenectomy, i.e. to ligate first the splenic artery and then, some time later, after the outflow of blood from the organ through the veins, to ligate these latter ones as well. Thus, the essence of this method is to cause the outflow of blood from the spleen through the spleen veins by ligating the spleen artery and thus to save blood in the spleen for the organism.
