摘要: Abstract Splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue following trauma. The presence residual nodules splenectomy has been investigated by a sensitive scanning method employing reinjection 99Tcm-labelled, heat-damaged autologous erythrocytes. was detected in 11 19 patients who had for traumatic rupture spleen.
