Elektivna resekcija slezine - pregled tehnika resekcije i prikaz nove tehnike zasnovane na radiofrekventnoj koagulaciji i desikaciji

The authors present a short overview of the development of elective splenic resections. Past and present indications are presented. Contemporary hemostatic technique for elective splenic resection are discussed. An original new technique for transsegmental partial splenic resection using RF generator (Radionic Cool Tip) without any additional hemostatic procedures is presented. This technique is inovative and when use properly it is a practically zero blood loss technique. A patient with transsegmental splenic resection using RF generator is presented. Further clinical application of the technique is necessary.
