Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the rationale for spleen salvage by lobe/segment dearterialization without resection for inferior pole injury during left hemicolectomy. One hundred and two consecutive human cadavers were dissected. Corrosion case and post-mortem arteriography with computerized planimetry were employed. Lobe/segment size, artery diameter and length and anastomoses between arteries were measured. The mean inferior terminal splenic artery had a significantly smaller diameter than the superior (2.8 vs. 3.4 mm, p
